Life

Budo took part in competitions in Petrograd while he was still at school . One of his classmates was the future vice president of the Soviet Chess Federation and the ICCF Lev Abramov. He played in the tournament of the Railway Chess Club in 1927 and in a few other tournaments. His first important success is the successful qualification for the VII Championship of the USSR in 1931. In the semifinals he reached second place behind Solomon Gotthilf with 6 points out of 9, in the Moscow finals he could not keep up with stronger opponents and shared the last place Genrich Kasparjan . In 1933 he was third followed by Yevgeny Kuzminych in the tournament for the best players in the first category. In 1935 he shared fourth place at a tournament in Leningrad, which Andor Lilienthal won confidently. In April 1936 he won next to Grigori Rawinski and Igor Bondarewski in a group at the All-Union Sawizki memorial tournament, a few months earlier he finished fifth in the Leningrad City Championship in 1936, 3 points behind Grigori Löwenfisch .

From 1937 Budo acted as the first head of the chess section in the Leningrad Pioneer Palace. In March of the same year he finished fourth in a small tournament with participation from Reuben Fine in Leningrad. The next month the Xth Championship of the USSR took place in Tbilisi . Three untitled players (Bondarewski, Budo and Artschil Ebralidze) were admitted, whereby only Bondarewski could achieve the norm of a national master (9 out of 19). Budo was left empty-handed with 7.5 points, as a small consolation he was given the special prize for the best result against the winners (4.5 out of 7). He never won the championship title. The reason for this, according to Pyotr Romanovsky , was his very limited opening repertoire. He always answered 1. e4 with 1.… c6 and after 1. d4 tried to go into the Nimzowitsch defense. He finished the semi-finals of the Soviet championship in 1945 and 1953 with a place in the middle of the table. In the Leningrad city championship in 1952 he came with 7 points out of 13 on the shared fifth place behind Mark Taimanow , Boris Spassky , Löwenfisch and Viktor Korchnoi . In the 1950s he withdrew from tournament chess and concentrated on his profession. He was the head of the planned economy department in the building associations "Glawleningradstroi" and "Glawsapstroi".

Its highest historical rating was 2527 in July 1946.
