Azmitdin Khodzhaev Memorial — Tashkent 1982
Incomplete record. This archive holds 25 of the 120 games played; 95 are missing.
Elmar Magerramov scored 11½/15 to win the Azmitdin Khodzhaev Memorial, one point ahead of Gennadij Timoscenko. Alex Yermolinsky took third with ten. The sixteen-player round robin produced 120 games; the archive preserves all 25 available native scores.
A tournament remembered by a participant
Ratmir Kholmov’s report in Shakhmaty v SSSR describes a memorial to Azmitdin Khodzhaev, winner of Uzbekistan’s first championship in 1930 and an advocate for chess in the republic. Magerramov established an early lead and finished on 11½. Timoscenko remained unbeaten in second place. Yermolinsky’s strong finish took him to ten points; Sergey Zagrebelny and Valery Loginov followed on nine.
The surviving scores
The complete published table reconciles every final total in Kholmov’s contemporary report and all 120 reciprocal pairings. The archive holds 25 native scores; 95 move scores remain unavailable after bounded searches across the roster, nearby years and source labels. The official standings include those missing games, whose cells are visibly marked.
Twenty-three surviving mainlines match the separate RusBase comparison exactly. Kayumov–Timoscenko stops one ply before that comparison’s drawn ending. In Magerramov–Loginov, the native score has 30...Re6 while the comparison gives 30...Be6; both continuations are legal and give the same result. No decisive independent move witness was found. The archive preserves the native moves in both games without reconstruction.
Timoscenko’s win over Kholmov was recovered from a generic Soviet Union source. Its 57 plies and result match the event comparison. All source dates specify only 1982, and every round remains unknown; the game list therefore follows source order.
Identifying V. Manin
Three source records incorrectly name Nikolay Monin. Kholmov’s original report identifies V. Manin on 4½ points. Leonid Bass’s firsthand account names Viktor Manin as his opponent in a Tashkent city championship around 1972; later organizer rosters and FIDE records distinguish Viktor Manin from Nikolay Monin. Together these support identifying the memorial participant as Viktor Manin. The original 1982 report prints only his initial, so the full-name identification is contextual. Only those three guarded game headers are corrected; their moves, results and dates are preserved.
