In November of 1989, the city of Belgrade, Yugoslavia with the sponsorship of Investbank was host to an international chess tournament. Twelve grandmasters were invited to participate in the round robin event, including (in order of ELO): Garry Kasparov (2775), Nigel Short (2660), Ljubomir Ljubojevic (2635), Jan Timman (2635), Jaan Ehlvest (2620), Artur Yusupov (2610), Simen Agdestein (2605), Predrag Nikolic (2600), Zdenko Kozul (2560), Branko Damljanovic (2555), Johann Hjartarson (2555), and Petar Popovic (2550). The average of the combined players' ratings qualified the tournament as a category XV event. The world champion Kasparov won in his usual fashion, dominating the event with an impressive 9.5/11 at the final. The final standings and crosstable are as follows:
