USSR Championship 1952
Compiled by suenteus po 147

The 20th Soviet chess championship took place in Moscow from November 29th to December 29th in 1952. The field was composed of twenty players: Six were invited, including the world champion Mikhail Botvinnik and the five Soviet grandmasters from the Olympiad, Isaac Boleslavsky, David Bronstein, Efim Geller, Paul Keres, and Vasily Smyslov. The other fourteen players qualifed from semi-finals play. Mark Taimanov took an early lead of two points over the field, due in part to a win against Botvinnik, the heavy favorite, in the third round. His lead was unbroken until the final round when Geller defeated him, allowing Botvinnik his chance to tie by defeating Alexey Suetin. It was determined that a playoff match was necessary to determine the true winner, so a concert hall was scheduled for the six game encounter, held from January 25th to February 5th, 1953. Botvinnik took an early lead in the first game and had the match all but wrapped up but for Taimanov's win in the fifth game, where he threatened to draw the match. Alas, the world champion held his rival to a draw in the final game and won his seventh and last Soviet Championship.
