Moscow won the two-leg city match 51½–20½, taking the Prague leg 23–13 and the Moscow return 28½–7½. The exact archive is bounded to the queued Mega2024 identity and reconciled against the published historical match ledger.
◈The historical match
Played at Prague, Czechoslovakia and Moscow, Soviet Union on 2 March and 22 May 1946, the contest used this format: two six-round scheveningen legs; aggregate board score. Moscow won the two-leg city match 51½–20½, taking the Prague leg 23–13 and the Moscow return 28½–7½.
The two exact 1946 queue rows are separate legs of one historical match and must be consumed together into this single archive; neither leg is an independent event.
◈The surviving games
All 72 official boards are preserved as standard replayable Mega2024 games.
Every included record has a unique Mega2024 SourceGameId, a unique replayable mainline and no PGN parse error. Adjacent event labels and unqueued identities are excluded.
◈An honest team view
The official player ledger maps every archived participant to one city, and the computed totals reproduce the published result; a checked roster grid is therefore proposed.
The official board score remains visible even where the public archive covers only part of the historical ledger, so missing games cannot silently distort the displayed result.
◈Final Standings
The archive contains 72 of 72 official played boards. The complete ledger and checked roster reproduce the official score, so the computed two-team grid is safe. The two exact 1946 queue rows are separate legs of one historical match and must be consumed together into this single archive; neither leg is an independent event.
