* The top players of the day: world champion Mikhail Botvinnik, and those who had qualified for ( or been seeded into ) the inaugural Candidates Tournament in 1950: Isaac Boleslavsky, Igor Bondarevsky, David Bronstein, Max Euwe, Reuben Fine, Salo Flohr, Paul Keres, Alexander Kotov, Andor Lilienthal, Miguel Najdorf, Samuel Reshevsky, Vasily Smyslov, Gideon Ståhlberg, and László Szabó.

Bronstein took many first prizes in tournaments, among the most notable being the Soviet Chess Championships of 1948 ( jointly with Alexander Kotov ) and 1949 ( jointly with Smyslov ).

He won the Estonian Championship at Tallinn 1945 with 13 / 15 (+ 11 = 4 − 0 ), ahead of several strong visiting Soviets, including Alexander Kotov, Alexander Tolush, Lilienthal, and Flohr.

Then in 1951, he triumphed again at Moscow, URS-ch19, with 12 / 17 (+ 9 = 6 − 2 ), against a super-class field which included Efim Geller, Petrosian, Smyslov, Botvinnik, Yuri Averbakh, David Bronstein, Mark Taimanov, Lev Aronin, Salo Flohr, Igor Bondarevsky, and Alexander Kotov.

Keres won Mar del Plata 1957 ( 15 / 17, ahead of Miguel Najdorf ), and Santiago 1957 with 6 / 7, ahead of Alexander Kotov.

He wrote a number of chess books, including a well-regarded, deeply annotated collection of his best games, Grandmaster of Chess ISBN 0-668-02645-6, The Art of the Middle Game ( with Alexander Kotov ) ISBN 0-486-26154-9, and Practical Chess Endings ISBN 0-7134-4210-7.

Alexander Alexandrovich Kotov ( Алекса ́ ндр Алекса ́ ндрович Ко ́ тов ; – 8 January 1981 ) was a Soviet chess grandmaster and author.

Kotov was a great admirer of World Champion Alexander Alekhine, and wrote a comprehensive four-volume biographical series of books on his life and career, which were published between 1953 and 1958.

The fortunes of the Sicilian were further revived in the 1940s and 1950s by players such as Isaac Boleslavsky, Alexander Kotov, and Miguel Najdorf.

After his failure in the 1946 U. S. Open in Pittsburgh, he never played tournament chess again, except for two games as a member of the U. S. team in the 10th Chess Olympiad ( Helsinki 1952 ), getting a draw with Soviet Grandmaster Alexander Kotov, one of the strongest players in the world, and a draw with Hungarian International Master Tibor Florian, in a game which Koltanowski appeared to be winning.
