Body: <p>I have a somewhat weird question that is only indirectly related to chess. I am trying to solve a chess-related puzzle in which I have to find games played by Soviet chess players based on positions. There are six positions given as images:<br></p>

  ### Answer by username_1 on 2024-02-25. Score: 4
  
  I used the [Chessvision.ai Chess Position Scanner](https://chessvision.ai/) extension to scan the images and get the position FENs, then with the help of [CQL](http://www.gadycosteff.com/cql/fen.html), I searched [Mega Database](https://shop.chessbase.com/en/products/mega_database_2024) and found these games:
  
  * [Tigran Petrosian vs Mikhail Botvinnik](https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1032639) at the World Championship Match (1963).
  * [Leonid Stein vs Tigran Petrosian](https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1106505) at the USSR Championship 1961a (1961).
  * [Yuri Averbakh vs Alexander Kotov](https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1084375) at Zuerich Candidates (1953).
  * [Vasily Smyslov vs Mikhail Tal](https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1125953) at 4th Soviet Team Cup (1964).
  * [Slim Bouaziz vs Efim Geller](https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1049309) at Sousse Interzonal (1967).
  * [Mark Taimanov vs Roman Dzindzichashvili](https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1040018) at 12th Soviet Team Championship Final-A (1972).
