1. Nf3 {Moscow (1935) Ten years after the Moscow (1925) tournament and
following on from the Botvinnik-Flohr Match (1933), Nikolai Vasilyevich
Krylenko , the head of Soviet Chess decided it was time to test the progress
of Soviet Chess against its Western counterpart. To this end eight Foreign
Masters including two former World Champions were invited to pit their skills
against twelve Soviet Masters in early 1935. The tournament opened on the 14th
of February and finished on the 15th of March and was held in the Museum Of
Fine Arts in Moscow. The joint winners were Botvinnik and Flohr. The
66-year-old Dr Emanuel Lasker was undefeated and finished just half a point
behind them, a result hailed as "a biological miracle." This was to be his
last great tournament performance. He finished half a point ahead of his great
rival Jose Capablanca, whom he brilliantly defeated in their game. This
tournament showed that the Soviets, led by Botvinnik, were well on their way
to becoming a major chess power.} (1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Qxd4) 1...
