Lembit Oll in memoriam. 23.4.1966-17.5.1999


Living in Tallin in the suburban of Mustamae the well-known Grandmaster 
Lembit Oll (33) committed a suicide by jumping off from his fourth story 
apartment window at the early hours of Sunday night. Since the year 1990 
Oll belonged in the group of 40 leading grandmasters in the world. 
He represented Estonia as the first board player in the two last
Chess Olympics.

The same day when Lembit left us the Sarajaevo super tournament started.
I checked Oll's personal results against all ten participating GMs and the
score is +13 =18 -8 in favour of Estonian GM. 
(Kasparov (2812) +0 =1 -0, Shirov (2726) +2 =6 -3,
Morozevits (2723)  +3 =1 -0, Adams (2716) +0 =0 -0, Topalov (2700) +2 =1 -1,
Short (2697) +0 =1 -2, Leko (2694) +0 =1 -0, Barejev (2679) +3 =0 -0,
Timman (2649) +0 =3 -0, I. Sokolov (2610) +3 =4 -2).
