Lugano Open (1987) Not all games are available. <Yasser Seirawan, the United States champion, led a 204-player field to win the Lugano International Open Tournament in Switzerland. The 27-year-old Seattle grandmaster, who had previously triumphed in Lugano, in 1983, this time posted a winning score of 7 1/2-1 1/2. Sharing second place in the nine-round Swiss-system competition were three grandmasters, Radoslav Simic of Yugoslavia, John Van der Wiel of the Netherlands and Curt Hansen of Denmark, along with two international masters, Ivan Sokolov of Yugoslavia and Jeroen Piket of the Netherlands. Each scored 7-2. Both Sokolov and Piket will be credited with grandmaster norms.> Source: New York Times, April 21, 1987.  page 1 of 1; 13 games    Game   Result Moves Year Event/Locale Opening 1. Ftacnik vs Dlugy   ½-½ 29 1987 Lugano Open A30 English, Symmetrical 2. Ftacnik vs S Wagman   ½-½ 33 1987 Lugano Open D31 Queen's Gambit Declined 3. J Nogueiras vs Hort   ½-½ 33 1987 Lugano Open D25 Queen's Gambit Accepted 4. Nunn vs Hort   ½-½ 47 1987 Lugano Open B12 Caro-Kann Defense 5. R Mainka vs I Morovic Fernandez   ½-½ 44 1987 Lugano Open C89 Ruy Lopez, Marshall 6. Van der Wiel vs Nunn   ½-½ 17 1987 Lugano Open D01 Richter-Veresov Attack 7. J Piket vs D H Campora   ½-½ 42 1987 Lugano Open D37 Queen's Gambit Declined 8. T Ernst vs Lobron   ½-½ 64 1987 Lugano Open B62 Sicilian, Richter-Rauzer 9. Lobron vs Y Gruenfeld   ½-½ 64 1987 Lugano Open B63 Sicilian, Richter-Rauzer Attack 10. B Carlier vs N Valdettaro   ½-½ 38 1987 Lugano Open B80 Sicilian, Scheveningen 11. M Dutreeuw vs Van der Sterren   ½-½ 40 1987 Lugano Open C45 Scotch Game 12. K Georgiev vs Van der Sterren   ½-½ 64 1987 Lugano Open D35 Queen's Gambit Declined 13. P Nikolic vs T Biehler   ½-½ 37 1987 Lugano Open E11 Bogo-Indian Defense   REFINE SEARCH:   White wins (1-0) | Black wins (0-1) | Draws (1/2-1/2)     There is no kibitzing for this page, yet.   NOTE: Create an account today to post replies and access other powerful features which are available only to registered users.
