A bit of history:
Here is the re-introduction of Averbakh 1949 Moscow Chess Championship match. It was seen Yurii Averbakh playing with the set with matches against Zagorainsky in 1949. Chess Praxis in his early years called this set as Averbakh 1 Set. Hence the 1949 Moscow Championship Set, also known as the “Averbakh” or “Averbakh 1” as our patron saint Arlindo Vieira identified the set as one of his four “Utopia” sets in his iconic 2012 video.
