Selected departments and specializations

Chess

Grigory Goldberg (1908–1976), in 1966, was the founding head of the postbaccalaureate program in chess which initially was organized as an academic specialization of the institution. In 1974, the specialization program was upgraded to the Chess Department that offered a Master of Sport in Chess. The chess program is chronicled as the first in the history of higher education.[3]

The Master of Sports in Chess should not be confused with the title and rank, Master of Sports of the USSR in Chess, which was established for men in 1934 and for women in 1950.[1] From 1934 through 1987, the USSR conferred 1,061 Master of Sport in Chess titles – 904 to men and 157 to women. The Master of Sport of the USSR was a nationally distinguished rank and title for many major sports of the former Soviet Union.[3][4]
