Semyon Furman

As Karpov built further successes, and was earning favour in the Soviet sports bureaucracy, he was able to arrange for Furman to compete with him sometimes in the same international tournaments, such as Madrid 1973, Ljubljana/Portorož 1975, and Bad Lauterberg 1977, all of which Karpov won.

He earned his first international tournament opportunity for Bucharest 1954, where he tied for 6th-7th places with a fine 10/17.
