Hungary vs USSR — Hungary 1969
In November 1969 Hungary hosted a three-section team match — men, women and juniors — and won it 27–21. The men's section finished dead level at 12–12; Hungary took the women's 9½–6½ and the juniors 5½–2½. The junior boards were the story: Anatoly Karpov, three months after winning the World Junior Championship, lost both of his two-game mini-matches, ½–1½ to András Adorján and ½–1½ to Zoltán Ribli.
Not the Soviet Union, but the Russian Federation
The games are labeled HUN-URS in the source, which reads as a match against the Soviet Union. In fact OlimpBase and Chessgames both give the opponent as the Russian SFSR, the Russian republic within the USSR, and both give the final score as 27–21 to Hungary. Chessgames cites Magyar Sakkélet 1969 for the result.
Forty-eight games were played over four rounds — twelve boards a round, split into six men's boards, four women's boards and two junior boards, with each pairing running four games or, on the junior side, a rotation of two-game mini-matches.
The juniors decide it
Karpov was eighteen, and had spent August in Stockholm becoming the first Soviet player since Boris Spassky in 1955 to win the World Junior Championship, with an undefeated 10/11 in the final group. The player he finished ahead of there was András Adorján, the runner-up. In Budapest in November, Adorján beat him 1½–½.
The other Hungarian junior was Zoltán Ribli, also eighteen, a shared European Junior Champion for 1968/69. He beat Karpov 1½–½ as well, and swept Evgeny Sveshnikov 2–0. Adorján's ½–1½ against Sveshnikov was the only one of the four junior mini-matches Hungary lost, and the section ended 5½–2½.
“The chess world first heard about Zoltan Ribli in 1969. The prize-winner of the European junior championship was included in Hungary's team for the match against USSR, in which he sensationally defeated Evgeny Sveshnikov 2:0 and even beat Anatoly Karpov in one game.”
The men hold, the women win it
The six men's boards split almost evenly. Lev Polugaevsky beat Lajos Portisch 2½–1½ and Efim Geller beat Levente Lengyel 3–1; Vladimir Antoshin beat László Barczay 2½–1½ and Gedeon Barcza drew 2–2 with Alexander Zaitsev. Hungary made it up on the lower boards, where Győző Forintos beat Orest Averkin 3–1 and István Csom beat Sergey Yuferov 3–1. Total: 12–12.
Polugaevsky and Zaitsev arrived with recent history between them — the two had shared first place at the 1968 Soviet championship in Alma-Ata, with Polugaevsky taking the title in the play-off. Zaitsev would be dead within two years, at thirty-six.
The margin came from the women's section, four a side, where Hungary won 9½–6½. Edit Krizsán-Bilek won all four of her games, against Rimma Bilunova, Natalia Alekhina, Klara Skegina and Ludmila Tsifanskaya; Zsuzsa Verőci took three of hers, losing only to Tsifanskaya. Mária Ivánka and Éva Karakas completed the Hungarian four.
