Mar-14-04    HungerIam: Short is back. He won Istanbul above, vs Polgar, Leko, Gelfand. He won GBR title. He won Gibraltar Masters. He is winning everything in which he participates. He is doing s by playing spectacular chess! Nigel is back with a vengeange. Mar-24-09    Udit Narayan: I wonder why this tournament didn't get more media attention with its star-studded roster? Mar-24-09    paulalbert: As I remember it, it did get reasonable attention in chess publications when it was played in 2003, particularly Judit Polgar's spectacular sacrificial attack winning against Berkes. Paul Albert Mar-24-09    Jim Bartle: Thanks for noting the Polgar-Berkes game. Great stuff. Dec-22-12    wordfunph: "About my brother Zoltan, for instance, who just as in Roquebrune was tortured by sore eyes and whose bad result can largely be blamed on this handicap. Sometimes he could not even see half the board." - IM Istvan Almasi Source: NICM 2003 4
