"Хочется передать привет в солнечный Ришон." Дубов о чемпионате СССР 1989 года

Not a single world champion participated in the 1989 championship, but one of the future challengers, Boris Gelfand, did. Boris failed to win the tournament, but Gelfand managed to defeat the winner, Rafael Vaganian, demonstrating a deep understanding of the King's Indian Defense. Vaganian also lost to second-place finisher Alexander Belyavsky, but won five games in a fairly tight tournament—enough for a clear first place. Prior to this, Rafael had repeatedly shared second and third place in the USSR Championships, and finally, the milestone tenth attempt proved to be a lucky one for Vaganian!
