EK: When the playoff was inconclusive how did they break the tie? Until 1980's it was always SB which was decisive in case playoff didn't settle things, but SB only singles out Nunn and Mestel, while Van der Wiel and Stean are still tied. So what was the 2nd criterion? Also in the 1980's they started to mix things, so they could use something else as SB too. But until 1980's it was always first playoff, and if playoff is inconclusive then whoever had the better SB in the main tournament would advance. Things were a lot simpler then :) [Ref. BI072028]

EK: Why was Smyslov in the cycle? He didn't qualify through zonal, and neither could he qualified by rating, from previous candidates or as a host nominee. He couldn't have been just chosen by Soviet federation (like in 1964-1966 cycle) because they did send 4 players from the Soviet zonal (Soviet Union had 4 zonal places) [Ref. BI072028] MW: Kasparov confirms this in My Great Predecessors II (p.375): 'After again being included in the Interzonal without having to qualify, as one of the places from the USSR zone, [Smyslov] unexpectedly went forward to the Candidates...'EK: About Smyslov. Kasparov says that Smyslov was just awarded one of the Soviet spots. But they still send 4 players from the Soviet zonal. Where does the extra 5th spot for Smyslov come from? In the previous and next cycle Soviet Union had 4 spots, why would they have 5 just for this cycle? In cycle 6 things are clear - Soviet Union had 4 spots, one was simply awarded to Smyslov so only 3 were sent from the zonal tournament. [Ref. BI220357]
