Rashid Nezhmetdinov (1912 – 1974) was born in Aktubinsk, Russian

Empire, in what is now Kazakhstan, and was of Tatar ethnicity. As a child

he was orphaned and raised by older siblings.

He had a talent for both chess and checkers and at 15 played in Kazan's

Chess Tournament of Pioneers, winning all 15 games. He also learned to

play checkers at this time. In the same month that he learned the to play

checkers he won Kazan's checkers semi-final and place second in the

finals. In the same year, he placed sixth in the Russian Checkers

Championship. Later, however, he gave up checkers for chess.

During World War II, Nezhmetdinov served in the military, thus delaying

the further progress of his chess career until 1946. In 1949, the Russian

Checkers Semifinals were held in Kazan. Nezhmetdinov attended as a

spectator, but when one of the participants failed to show up,

Nezhmetdinov agreed to substitute for him even though he hadn't played

checkers for 15 years.

He won every game, qualifying him for the Finals, which were to be held

immediately after the Russian Chess Championship, in which he was also

participating. He won the Russian Chess Championship, and immediately

thereafter placed second in the Russian Checkers Championship. He

ultimately won the Russian SFSR Chess Championship a total of five

times.

Nezhmetdinov was a fierce, imaginative, attacking player capable of

beating anyone in the world. He was awarded the International Master

title for his second-place finish behind Korchnoi at Bucharest 1954. That

was the only time he was able to compete outside of the Soviet Union.

Despite his extraordinary talent, he never was able to obtain the

grandmaster title. According to GM Yuri Averbakh one possible reason

was “. . . if he had the attack, could kill anybody, including Tal. But my

score against him was something like 8½–½ because I did not give him any

possibility for an active game. In such cases he would immediately start to

spoil his position because he was looking for complications."

Nezhmetdinov won a number of games against world champions such as

Tal and Spassky, and also had success against other world-class

grandmasters such as Bronstein, Polugaevsky, and Geller but against

others he failed miserably. His style was such that he often lost badly to

players of lesser ability and thus, ruined his chances of obtaining a high

place.

In the words of Mikhail Tahl, "His games reveal the beauty of chess and

make you love in chess not so much the points and high placings, but the

wonderful harmony and elegance of this particular world."
