"In addition to free 'board and lodging', the participants all receive a thousand guilders appearance fee, a hundred guilders pocket money per day and another six hundred guilders per point. Eighteen-year-old Alexey Shirov has the best prospects of victory with the final round tomorrow. However, Hake will not consider inviting the Russian ambassador to present the prizes, as he did last year. The teenager from Latvia has so little interest in Russia that he even refuses to play with the usual reduced version of the national flag on his gaming table. On the first day of play, he placed a lilac flag with a horizontal white stripe next to the chessboard that he brought with him: the national flag of Latvia."
