5th Correspondence World Championship Final
Compiled by crawfb5

The 5th ICCF Correspondence World Championship Final ran 1965-1968.

Berliner won the 5th ICCF finals by a previously unseen three-point margin. He had won his qualifying section by a score of 6-0 and his semifinal section by a score of 11.5-.5. His win against Estrin (Y Estrin vs H Berliner, 1965) was one of the most famous in ICCF competition. Estrin was a recognized expert in the Two Knight's Defense and would win the 7th Correspondence World Championship.

Borisenko withdrew from the tournament. His games against Hybl, Rokhlin, Altshuler, and Stern are not available.
