Benzol"s: Game Collection: USSR Championship 1983 Won by Karpov with 9½ points (+5,=9,-1). Notable for a tournament loss.

suenteus po 147's: Game Collection: USSR Championship 1990. The 57th Soviet Chess Championship was a category XIV event held in the city of Leningrad from October 18th to November 5th, 1990. It was Beliavsky's fourth and final Soviet crown, and it was a first time win for Bareev, Vyzmanavin, and Yudasin.

suenteus po 147's: Game Collection: USSR Championship 1991. The 58th and final USSR Chess Championship was played in the Soviet capitol of Moscow from November 1st to the 13th, 1991. The tournament was organized as 64 player Swiss event, which included some of the most senior as well as newest grandmasters and masters in the Soviet Union. Artashes Minasian and Elmar Magerramov tied for first, with each scoring 8.5/11 for final, with Minasian declared winner on tiebreaks. The Soviet Union would dissolve over a month later, and while the separate nations that made up the USSR would continue to hold their individual championships, there would never again be a Soviet chess championship.

Players, Selected Games:

Garry Kasparov was one of the most dominate international tournament players in the history of the game. He holds the record for most consecutive professional tournament victories, placing first or equal first in 15 individual tournaments from 1981 to 1990.

Selected games from the World Championship matches against Anatoly Karpov and others are presented. All encounters in the Chessgames data base between Kasparov and Karpov: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches.... The World Championship Matches were very close, however the overall record is in Kasparov's favor: He beat Anatoli Karpov 39 to 25, with 138 draws. In 1993 Kasparov decided to leave the FIDE organization throwing the World Championship into turmoil.

Kasparov had no losing records against the top players of his day. Viswanathan Anand +23-8=36, Viktor Korchnoi +18-1=25, Anatoly Karpov +39-25=138, Veselin Topalov +15-6=17, Vladimir Kramnik +22-21=79, Vasyl Ivanchuk +15-6=27.

However, Kasparov's winning percentage among modern players is only fifth at 69.4%* +878 -152 =846. Paul Morphy is first at 85.3%* (+202 -24 =26). Alexandar Alekhine is second at 72.6%* (+1082 -253 =502 ). Bobby Fischer is third at 72.5%* (+445 -91 =252) and fourth is Jose Capablanca at 72.2%* (+329 -47 =254). * Overall winning percentage = (wins+draws/2) / total games

Anatoli Karpov was another dominate international tournament player who won more than 160 tournaments in his career, including 28 out of the 34 tournaments in which he took part from 1975 to 1984. See amadeus's: Game Collection: Karpov Tournament Champion - I and Game Collection: Karpov Tournament Champion - II for some of his major victories.

His 1995 victory at Amber was outstanding. See amadeus': Game Collection: Melody Amber 1995

Tournaments:

The 5th Annual Interpolis Chess Tournament held in Til One of Beliavsky's great tournament victories. Compiled by suenteus po 147: Game Collection: Tilburg Interpolis 1981

Moscow 1981. Seven of the best Soviet players, including the promising Garry Kasparov and the old guard of Vasily Smyslov and Tigran Petrosian, were joined by Anatoli Karpov who, as the most active of all world champions, agreed to participate even though he had an upcoming world championship match with Korchnoi in October of that same year: suenteus po 147's Game Collection: Moscow 1981

Karpov, also, won at Linares ESP Super Tournament in 1994 with a dominating score 11/13 (+9-0=4) three points better than second place Kasparov. This score was achieved against the best in the world at that time in the first Cat. 18 tournament. Kasparov, commenting on the strength of the players, said that the winner of this tournament should be considered the world champion of tournament chess. See the games at suenteus po 147's Game Collection: Linares 1994.
