The 54th annual Hoogovens international chess tournament was a category XIV event held in Wijk aan Zee, The Netherlands from January 9th to the 26th, 1992. 14 top grandmasters competed in a round robin format in the prestigious A event. The participants were (in order of ELO): Boris Gelfand (2665), Valery Salov (2655), Predrag Nikolic (2635), Vladimir Epishin (2620), Robert Huebner (2615), John Nunn (2615), Jeroen Piket (2615), Gyula Sax (2600), Yasser Seirawan (2600), Viktor Korchnoi (2585), Loek Van Wely (2560), John Van der Wiel (2540), Joris Brenninkmeijer (2500), and Alfonso Romero Holmes (2490).
