Introduction
This semi-final of the 26th USSR Championship was played in September/October 1958 with a strong field of young players making their names in the chess world.The games were published in an edition of 8 copies by the Latvian Chess Federation (a top copy and 7 carbon copies, by the looks of things). I have copy number 3 but it is, unfortunately, missing a page (the pages are not bound). This page contains the end of game 32 plus the whole of games 33-35, which I have been unable to find elsewhere. In fact, I have been unable to find any report of the tournament in Shakhmatny Bulletin.
The draw was:
1 Korchnoi
2 Simagin
3 Peterson
4 Byvshev
5 Grushevsky
6 Gufeld
7 Osnos
8 Bastrikov
9 Shaposhnikov
10 Katalimov
11 Gipslis
12 Rubel
13 Geller
14 Vladimirov
15 Tarasov
16 Holmov
The top four finishers progressed to the 26th Championship: Holmov, Geller, Korchnoi and Gufeld.
