Mikhail Tal had just won the Ilmar Raud Memorial 1972, and nobody knew it yet, but his loss to Gunnar Andreyevich Uusi in round 11 of that event would be his last loss for a very long time. He went undefeated in his next 86 games.1 Now, at the Georgian seaside resort of Sukhumi, Tal faced a diverse field of Soviets and international invitees.
