Incomplete record·35 of 91 games archived

Incomplete record. This archive holds 35 of the 91 games played; 56 are missing.

Eduard Gufeld and Vladimir Bagirov finished level on 8½/13 in the second Viktor Goglidze Memorial. Tamaz Giorgadze followed half a point behind. The fourteen-player round robin produced 91 games; all 35 available native scores are archived.

Two winners and a close field

Gufeld scored five wins, seven draws and one loss; Bagirov won six games, drew five and lost two. Giorgadze scored eight points. Bukhuti Gurgenidze, Nona Gaprindashvili and Elizbar Ubilava shared the next places with 7½. The final report in Zaria Vostoka on 27 October gives all fourteen totals.

The surviving record

The full published table reconciles all fourteen totals and all 91 reciprocal pairings. The archive preserves 35 available scores; the remaining 56 have no native record in bounded searches under the roster aliases, nearby years and encountered source labels. The standings follow the published event, while missing scores remain visibly marked in the cross table.

Thirty-three native mainlines match the separate OlimpBase comparison exactly. Its other two event records give results without moves: Bednarski–Gaprindashvili and Bednarski–Alexandria. Their surviving native moves are preserved rather than supplemented from another collection.

Two documented source discrepancies

The native Bednarski–Gaprindashvili record ends after 23 plies and gives a draw. Zaria Vostoka on 16 October reports that Gaprindashvili won the adjourned game, agreeing with the final table. The archive corrects its result to a Black win and keeps the surviving opening unchanged.

Bednarski’s seventh-round win over Nana Alexandria is stored under a generic Tbilisi label with a 1970 date. The newspaper’s 17 October report explicitly places that pairing in this memorial’s seventh round. The archive retains the native 1970 date and all 45 plies, while recording the published round on the event membership.

All 35 source Game and PGN round tags remain unknown. The game list follows the published thirteen-round sequence through guarded event memberships.
