Fedir Bohatyrchuk and Peter Romanovsky were declared champions, since a tie-break match cannot be scheduled.[1] An indication of the enhanced prestige of chess ins Soviet Union was the championship venue, the Hall of Columns of the House of Unions, one of the most eminent locations in the country. That edition also featured the debut of the future world chess champion and 16 year old young talent Mikhail Botvinnik.[2]
