USSR Championship Semifinal — Uzhgorod 1972
USSR Championship Semifinal — Uzhgorod 1972 survives here as a carefully bounded game collection: 31 playable records filed under the exact historical source identity, with no missing rounds, results, or official placings inferred beyond the evidence.
◈The surviving record
USSR Championship Semifinal — Uzhgorod 1972 is catalogued at Uzhgorod in 1972 under the source label “URS-ch40 Semifinal.” The checked-in archive preserves 31 playable games from the Soviet championship qualification record.
The page headline is deliberately bounded by that record: “USSR Championship Semifinal, Uzhgorod 1972: 31 surviving games.” Where the historical sources do not establish a complete official table, the wording describes the surviving archive rather than the tournament as a whole.
◈How to read this archive
The USSR Championship drew on a deep qualifying system, and many preliminary groups survive less fully than the celebrated final tournaments. This page therefore presents the checked-in games as an archive ledger and does not turn an incomplete source into an invented official table.
The standings and cross-table on this page are computed from the games actually archived. They are evidence about this collection; unless a cited historical source independently supplies the complete result, they should not be read as a reconstruction of unarchived play.
◈Result
Our source preserves 31 games from this event. The full playing record has not been established, so no cross table is computed here; the games list carries everything we hold, in source order.
