Hampstead GM 3rd (1998) The 3rd Hampstead International ran 10-23rd August and was organised by Adam Raoof. There was a Category 7 event with a GM norm set at 11.5 points and an IM norm at 8.5. This was won by GM Jim Plaskett although even he didn't actually reach the GM norm target. In second place were Krishnan Sashikiran (whom I assume now has the IM title although it isn't in the copy of the rating list I have) and Boris Kreiman both were a point short of their GM targets, although in the case of the young Indian player Sashikiran it clearly going to be a matter of time.
