history

In the years 1952 to 1984 the team trophies of the sports associations were held in the Soviet Union . At the end of the 1980s, the concept was considered obsolete for several reasons, so a new competition was created. Instead of eight, as was the case last time in Kiev , thirty teams were deployed in Naberezhnye Chelny in October 1988 . The game was played according to the Swiss system with six players per team plus two reserve players. After eleven rounds, NGSK Novosibirsk , whose players mainly came from the team from the Siberian military district, won by one point . The eight best teams were then allowed to start directly in the main tournament in the next cycle.

At the second chess championship in Lesnye Polyany (Podolsk district) played 14 teams, which were first divided into two groups. The four best-placed teams from each group qualified for the Final A tournament . The Elo -stärkste team CSKA Moscow could in the first round not prevail and landed in ninth place in the standings. Among the players is former world champion were Mikhail Tal ( ROSSK Riga ), Leonid Judassin ( plastic polymer Leningrad ), Yevgeny Sveshnikov ( Poljot Chelyabinsk ), smbat lputian ( SK Armenia Yerevan ), Rustem Dautov and Konstantin Aseyev (both CSKA Moscow ).
