Chessgames.com Chess Event Description
Hoogovens Group B (1996)

"Ivanchuk's Ukrainian success was completed by his compatriot Alexander Onischuk, who won the B tournament. The second tournament of the festival reached the X category, and the percentage of decided games exceeded that of the main tournament. In one round there was not even one draw. Anthony Miles, the favourite to win the tournament, had to make way for Onischuk. The Englishman slumped to the penultimate position, and the Ukrainian rose to glory." (Jaque)

Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands, 16-28 January 1996
