In 1949 and 1950, Yuri Averbakh wins the Moscow Championship and displays an excellent performance in the international tournament in Szczawno-Zdrój and in the U.S.S.R. championships.
He also scores a good result in the Stockholm Interzonal Tournament of 1950, like his other Soviet competitors. He ties for fifth with Grandmasters Stahlberg, Gligoric, and Szabo, qualifying for the challenger's tournament.
The game below, from the 1954 match between U.S.S.R. and Argentina, is typical of Averbakh combinative skill.
