USSR International Draughts Championship

The USSR International Draughts Championship was the USSR championship in international draughts.

History

The annual draughts competition was held in the USSR from 1954 to 1991. The first official championship was held in 1954 in Leningrad. It was preceded by the All-Union Training Tournament in 1953, in which 16 players participated, 12 of whom were Masters of Sport of the USSR. In some years, an additional match was held to determine the winner. Starting in 1986, a preliminary stage was introduced: 32 participants competed in a nine-round Swiss-system tournament to determine ten finalists, who then played for the championship title. The first league was also created. The last championship was held in 1991 in connection with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Many Russian draughts players became world champion in international draughts.
