To have a challenger for World Champion Anatoly Karpov it was necessary to qualify eight players for the Candidates quarterfinal knockout matches that would be held in 1980. Viktor Korchnoi and Boris Spassky had qualified by having reached the Korchnoi - Spassky Candidates Final (1977/78). The other six players would qualify from two interzonal tournaments: Riga (this page), and Rio de Janeiro Interzonal (1979). From Rio, Robert Huebner, Lajos Portisch and Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian qualified.
To play in the interzonals the players had to qualify from zonal tournaments. For the Riga interzonal, Miles had qualified from the Amsterdam Zonal (1978) tournament. Grünfeld qualified from the Lucerne Zonal (1979), Tarjan and Mednis from the US Championship (1978), Rodriguez from Ito Zonal (1978), Adorjan, Ribli and Gheorghiu from Warsaw Zonal (1979), Ljubojevic and Bouaziz from Praia da Rocha Zonal (1978), Tseshkovsky, Romanishin and Kuzmin from Lvov Zonal (1978) and Trois and Riemsdijk from Tramandai Zonal (1978). (1) Larsen and Polugaevsky qualified from reaching the Candidates matches in 1977. (2) Mikhail Tal from the host country had a wild card, which had caused protests in Russia. (3) Roman Hernandez was originally situated in the draw as no. 1, but on his failure to arrive his name was withdrawn and the draw was modified. Lubomir Kavalek had qualified from the USA zone, but due to an injury to a leg, while playing tennis as part of his physical preparation, he could not travel and his place was taken by Mednis. Vlastimil Hort withdrew at the last moment through sickness, and was replaced by Romanishin. (4)

Right before his game with Tal, Oleg was chased into the playing hall by an angry mob wielding torches and pitchforks.

[@williammorris584]

One would think so, but I remember watching Romanishin’s advancement during the 70’s, he was no scrub. That said, Tal was still Tal whenever he wasn’t in hospital. Had Tal not been both a heavy smoker and chronically ill, and Fischer more mentally stable, I think Botvinnik’s prediction would have proven true: that Tal and Fischer would have been contesting the WC for at least a decade.

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

As in most games, as soon as you move your rook to the opponents back ranks its all but over. Because you rarely can kick it back out. Thats why open files are so advantageous for your rooks. Even semi open files give an advantage.

[@rickharold7884]

Beautiful

[@Puschit1]

For the second pause the video moment: My immediate reaction would have been to just move the knight to d5. If he takes my bishop I take his knight. If he takes my knight, I can take back with the bishop, moving him out of harms way. I would be up a full piece and not just up the exchange. What did I miss?

[@henrikschrder7115]

Nd4, g5,nxf4,Rxb3- both knights are hanging

[@Basjejo]

@@henrikschrder7115 What if after nd4, g5, white just plays bc4? Then black cannot take the knight on h4 without leaving his own knight hanging on f4. If black plays nxd4 first, white captures back with the bishop, attacking the rook.

@@Basjejo The line you said Nd5, g5 then 2 Bc4 black will play Rb4 attacking the bishop. So if white protects his Bishop with Rc1 or move it to safety black plays Nxd5 and the h4 knight is hanging, instead of saving the bishop white plays Nxf4 black just capture the bishop Rxc4 and the two knight are still attacked at f4 and h4, and also after black played Rb4 to attack the bishop white then tries Nf6+ black plays Kh8 leaving white bishop on c4 and knight at h4 hanging.

[@painless465]

In the second" pause the video moment",can white play Nc4? If the black rook captures the white bishop then whites knight can capture blacks knight. And if black's knight captures white's knight,then white's bishop can capture the black knight,also saving white's bishop from the attack

Nd5 not c4 - that's what I thought

@@deebee5241 WEAK MOVE!!!! There is a fork on g5 at the end of the sequence.

[@mikeroyale4842]

At 7:56 wouldn’t it be better to play ND5 moving the knight to safety. If the black rook takes the bishop on B3 then white will just take the hanging black Knight on F4. This will still keep you ahead by a price. If the black knight takes the white knight on D5 then white will just take the knight back with its bishop on B3 and move itself out of the rooks sight.

I went to comments to find out xD i also found this "solution"

[@TheRomanianWolf]

and if black plays Nd3, with attack on rook?

[@TheRomanianWolf]

@@romanh2142 that's NOT the solution, black simply plays Nd3 counter-attacking the rook. Now both rook and bishop are attacked. Rb1??? Pawn to c4 wins the piece back.

[@renehenriksen1735]

Agadmator>>> Can you tell me if the Nezhmetdinov-gambit in the Siesta-variation in the Ruy Lopez is known under other names? It´s just that I can´t find it mentioned anywhere except in Jakov Estrin´s little book "Gambits" which in my country (Denmark) is called "Gambitplay in chess". Ruy Lopez and Siesta-variation I can find, but not Nezhmetdinov-gambit. Therefore I thought it might have another name in chesslitterature that is more known. If you want to I can give you all the moves and different waters the play can enter into, because I took a copy of the pages where Nezhmetdinov.gambit is mentioned.

[@quickspinner210]

Near the end, doesn't black Nd4 have more threats than Nc3? Once white Na5, then move your black king so no discovery, or move black bishop to prepare attack the white N on a5... and win a piece back... white out of defenders. Wasn't that more playable than a weak black Na3 move? It just seems that there were still chances, and should play it out instead of resigning.
