Hastings (1980/81)
Compiled by Chessical

Introduction:

The 56th Hastings Premier Tournament was of fifteen rounds/120 games duration and was held in the White Rock Pavilion (https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place...) between Monday, December 29th, 1980 and Thursday, January 15th, 1981. The tournament was a fight between Andersson, Torre and Lein for the first prize of £1,000 1(approximately £3,300/$5,600 in 2014 values).

The participants:

The premier event of sixteen players included seven grandmasters and eight international masters. The average ELO was 2476 which made this a Category 10 tournament, with a GM norm at 10 points and an master norm at 7. All the players were aged in their twenties apart from the trio of experienced ex-Soviet grandmasters: Lein (49), Alburt (35) and Liberzon (43).

The tournament organiser William Ritson-Morry had to work hard and to the last minute to maintain the category of the tournament.

The Yugoslav player Slavoljub Marjanovic (GM, 2515) could not attend due to military service and was replaced by Petar Popovic (IM, 2490).

Relations with the Soviet Chess Federation had deteriorated to a point where they would not provide the details of their nominated players until the very last minute causing publicity and organizational problems for the Congress' management. There was also a perception that the Soviet authorities were no longer inclined to send their top players, and those they did send tended to do just enough without troubling themselves playing particularly interesting chess.

The late offerings of Adrian Mikhalchishin (GM, 2535) and Evgeny Sveshnikov (GM, 2535) were declined.

The rift was temporary, and Soviet players won the next three tournaments, including the spurned Sveshnikov in 1985. Perhaps both sides thought better of it. There was still prestige in winning Hastings, whilst without the Soviets there was a danger that the tournament would become stale. Speelman and Mestel were participating for a fourth successive time, whilst for Andersson it was the third and for Lein it was the second.

The prizewinners:

This was Andersson's third Hastings's victory in a row; albeit in the previous year he had shared first prize with John Nunn .

Eugenio Torre won his last game to gain undivided second place in great style with a Queen sacrifice, whilst Lein choosing to use white for a quick and blood less draw in 13 moves against Andersson to be certain of the third prize. The early 1980s were a breakthrough period for Torre. At the 1980 Malta Chess Olympiad, he was bronze medalist on first board (+9,=4,-1). He went on to come second (due to a tie break) at Game Collection: Toluca Interzonal 1982

Anatoly Lein was late to arrive and his Round 1 and Round 2 games were both postponed and played on rest days. Torre-Lein (rd. 1) was played on 1st January, and Peters-Lein (rd. 2) was played on the 14th January (two weeks after the rest of the round). Lein won a special prize for the best played endgame of the tournament against Littlewood, and gained the third prize.

The other contestants:

Lev Alburt who had defected from the Soviet Union in 1979, won his first four games could only win one further game. His progress slowed after losing to tail-ender Brito in Round 8, when he paid the price for over-enthusiastic pawn grabbing. He finally fell out of contention in Round 12 losing to Andersson who had sacrificed the exchange for lasting positional pressure.

The tournament had an English contingent of four players. Jonathan Speelman and Jonathan Mestel were regular England team members. Paul Littlewood had gained the IM title in 1979 and he would win the British Championship in 1981. Robert Bellin was the 1979 British champion. Apart from Littlewood, they all underperformed their ratings.

Jozsef Pinter, the Hungarian champion in 1978 and 1979 disappointed. He could not recover from a slow start.

Brazil was represented by its new star and champion Jaime Sunye Neto (IM, 2415) who had come to the chess world's attention with his surprise fifth equal placing at the Rio de Janeiro Interzonal (1979). His compatriot, however, Luismar Jorge de Brito (2255) was the unknown player of the tournament. He had shared second and third prize in Brazilian championship in 1979, and secured his place at Hastings by going onto win the Challenger's Tournament, but he was handicapped by a relatively weak opening repertoire. If he could surmount this, he showed he was capable of energetic and imaginative chess as against Bellin in Round 2. Although he came last, Brito still improved his rating by 89 points.

Notable games:

Torre won the brilliancy prize in the last round with a Queen sacrifice - E Torre vs J Peters, 1981

The prize winner for the best played ending A Lein vs P Littlewood, 1981

An enterprising exchange sacrifice - Alburt vs Andersson, 1981

Attacking play against the Grunfeld - P Littlewood vs Ftacnik, 1980

The Marshall Attack breaks through! - L Brito vs P Littlewood, 1980

An unusual piece sacrifice - R Bellin vs L Brito, 1980

...

The final standings and cross-table:

The pace of the tournament slackened towards the end, and the number of short draws increased markedly. "Leonard Barden suggested that players were conserving their energies for the Hoogoven Tournament..which started immediately after". 2. Andersson and Torre were, however, the only two Premier players participating in both tournaments.
