9th Euwe Memorial (1995)
The ninth Max Euwe Memorial Chess Tournament was organized by the Verenigde Spaarbank (VSB) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands from May 12th to the 18th, 1995. Following the format of previous editions of the tournament, four of the world's top grandmasters, including the world champion, were invited to participate in the double round robin event. They were (in order of ELO), Garry Kasparov (2805), Jeroen Piket (2670), Joel Lautier (2655), and Veselin Topalov (2630). The average of the combined ratings of the players ranked this event as a category XVIII tournament. In shocker ending, Kasparov did not finish first even though he scored more wins than any of the other three players. Two surprise losses devastated the world champion and kept him from winning his second consecutive Euwe memorial. Instead it was Lautier who finished clear first having completed the tournament undefeated with wins over Kasparov and Piket. The final standings and crosstable are as follows: 
1 Lautier  4.0/6  ** ½1 ½½ 1½
2 Kasparov 3.5/6  ½0 ** 11 10
3 Topalov  2.5/6  ½½ 00 ** 1½
4 Piket    2.0/6  0½ 01 0½ **
The 8th Euwe Memorial (1994) and 10th Euwe Memorial (1996) were the previous and next tournaments in the series.
