Nestor Makhno Memorial
Huliaipole, August 1-2 2000

Five IM's and one grandmaster competed in the rapid chess and blitz.
 
The winners:
rapid chess: IM Rogovski 4,5/5 IM Kushch and IM Zubov 3,5/5
blitz: IM Kushch 7/10, IM Zubov 5,5/10 GM Savon 5/10
 
The tournament is interesting, first of all, by its exceptional name. Nestor Makhno (1884-1934), absolutely legendary person in Ukraine and the near countries, ally and the enemy of bolsheviks, he was the leader of rebel anarchists army in Ukraine in 1918-1921.
Played Makhno chess or not - in any case, in the Great Britain the similar tournament probably could have name a «Robin Hood Chess Memorial».
