--*--

The twenty-first and final international chess tournament sponsored by IBM in Amsterdam, The Netherlands was held in May of 1981. This final edition saw invitations go out to eleven former winners of the event and one longtime participant, all of whom were (in order of ELO): Anatoli Karpov (2690), Lajos Portisch (2650), Lev Polugaevsky (2620), Jan Timman (2620), Ljubomir Ljubojevic (2605), Anthony Miles (2590), Vlastimil Hort (2575), Lubomir Kavalek (2550), Vasily Smyslov (2545), Hans Ree (2485), Jan Hein Donner (2475), and Kick Langeweg (2455). The average of the combined ratings of the participants qualified the tournament as a category XIII event. Timman triumphed over a strong field of champions (including the world champion) by finishing clear first, undefeated with +4. Karpov and Portisch tied for second, both having dropped a game. The final standings and crosstable are as follows:
