Soviet Chess Dominance Seen Slipping Says Botvinnik
In Moscow, former world champion Mikhail Botvinnik and young prodigy Garry Kasparov loom in a cautious view of Soviet chess hegemony. Botvinnik notes shrinking mass participation and fewer leading theorists while praising Britain as a rising force after a world junior event where Britain won. He cites Kasparov as a potential top player to carry on a long Soviet tradition dating back to 1927.
