Chessgames.com Chess Event Description
Bayern-chI Bank Hofmann 3rd (1999)

The 3rd OIMB Open took place 23rd-31st October 1999 was won by Alexander Shabalov. The event was sponsored by Bank Hofmann the event took place in Bad Wiessee and was organised by Horst Leckner had a big entry of 379 players. 65 players with FIDE-titles entered, more than 30 of them were grandmasters.

3rd Open International Bavarian Masters In some ways Alexander Khalifman's previous successes in Bad Wiessee and in Las Vegas seemed to be an inspiration for a lot of Grandmasters. 31 GMs came to Bad Wiessee and therefore the tournament was much stronger than ever before. Although there was a disappointing lack of German grandmasters there were expectations of a very exciting event. A lot of new visitors came to Bad Wiessee, eg. the strongest in terms of ELO Michal Krasenkow. Already in round 2 Krasenkow had lost, to Dietmar Lau (ELO: 2205). There was an even worse start for GM Konstantin Lerner (ELO: 2588), he lost in round 1 against the German amateur Frank Muster (no ELO!). There were 6 players with a rating above 2600. One highlight of the event was the appearance of Ruslan Ponomariov (ELO: 2616) from the Ukraine. The youngest grandmaster in the world celebrated his sixteenth birthday just before the tournament. For a lot of participants he was favorite for the event. In round 6 however Ponomariov lost his game against Alexander Shabalov from the US. Shabalov topped this perfomance in round 7 with a victory over GM Alexander Rustemov. Shabalov then had 7/7. This is even better than anything Khalifman has ever managed in Bad Wiessee. With two peaceful draws in the last two rounds Shabalov made sure of winning the event. Ildar Ibragimov from Russia (ELO: 2554) also managed to get 8 points after beating Josif Dorfman (France, ELO: 2596) in the last round. But Shabalov's Buchholz was too high. As last year, the best woman in the tournament was WGM Nino Gurieli (ELO: 2351) from Georgia. With her defeats of grandmasters Konstantin Lerner and Sergey Smagin (Russia, ELO: 2583) and a draw against Alexander Volzhin (Russia, ELO: 2569) she was clear first. The best senior was Rafael Rodkin (ELO: 2240) from Israel with 6 points. In the junior-category U20 there was a great showdown in round 9. The two German talents IM Dimitrij Bunzmann (ELO: 2596) and IM Arkadij Naiditsch (ELO: 2417) had to fight against one another. It was a very hard game, which Naiditsch won. Arkadij finished with 7 points, equal with GM Ponomariov. During the closing-ceremony Mr. Parigi from the sponsor Bank Hofmann presented the trophys. And he thanked the chess-club of Tegernsee and especially the Leckner family for all their work. Also Alexander Shabalov spoke to the participants and visitors and emphasising that he would like to take part in Bad Wiessee again, next year.
