| Linares (1995) |
|
The 13th Torneo Internacional "Ciudad de Linares" was held in Linares from March 1st to the 17th. The field was a little weaker than usual. PCA World Champion Garry Kasparov (Elo ranked #1 in the world), Valery Salov (#3) and Vladimir Kramnik (#5) had decided not to participate, while Viswanathan Anand (#4) and Gata Kamsky (#7) had to play the Anand - Kamsky Candidates Final (1995) which started on 9 March (same day as Round 7). An upset tournament director Luis Rentero Suarez had cancelled the event, but luckily he changed his mind, under the influence of the mayor of Linares and a new sponsor, Turespaña. Fourteen of the world's top 100 players competed in the round robin format. They were: The FIDE World Champion Anatoly Karpov (#2), Alexey Shirov (#6), Vassily Ivanchuk (#9), Joel Lautier (#13), Vladimir Akopian (#15), Nigel Short (#16), Alexey Dreev (#17), Alexander Beliavsky (#18), Ivan Sokolov (#19), Alexander Khalifman (#24), Veselin Topalov (#27), Sergei Tiviakov (#35), Miguel Illescas Cordoba (#62), and Ljubomir Ljubojevic (#94). Karpov arrived from a tiring Karpov - Gelfand FIDE Candidates Semifinal (1995) in India. Shirov had taken up residence in Tarragona and applied for Spanish citizenship. Vasyl Ivanchuk won his third Linares with 10/13, earning wins against half the field. The youngest player, Topalov from Bulgaria (who turned 20 on the rest day before Round 12), was among the leaders until Round 10, when he lost to Karpov. In the last three rounds, Karpov made three draws while Ivanchuk beat Dreev, Tiviakov and Akopian. Ivanchuk, Karpov and Shirov finished unbeaten. Ljubojevic did not win a single game. Although Illescas was sick during the event, he still did better than expected. Hotel Anibal, Linares, Spain, 1-17 March 1995 Age Elo 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4
