Tournament Review

Gudmundur Sigurjonsson, Winner of the 5th Orense International Tournament

Accompanied by Kenneth Rogoff of the United States and Guillermo Garcia of Cuba

From 19 to 31 January, the fifth International Tournament was held in Orense, organised by the Orense Chess Federation in the premises of the Liceo Orensano in that Galician capital.

The tournament reached FIDE Category 8, which meant that seven points were required for a Grandmaster norm and six for an International Master norm.

The Cuban Guillermo Garcia obtained his final norm and thereby the definitive Grandmaster title, which will be ratified at the next FIDE Congress.

The American Rogoff also obtained his first norm. Three players therefore completed the tournament with notable success, although Bellon was only one point short of achieving a norm in the final round against Rodriguez. Rodriguez had played an excellent tournament, but failed when he tried to force matters and lost. It was a pity, because he had played courageously and his efforts deserved better fortune.

The Icelandic Sigurjonsson won the tournament, accompanied by Rogoff and Garcia. Rodriguez finished fourth; after two years in Spain he has become a tough and dangerous player.

Bellon was the leading Spaniard and performed very irregularly. After defeating Keene, Timman and Pomar, he managed only a draw against Hernando, Sanz and Fraguela, despite having had winning positions.

Keene merely fulfilled expectations, while the Dutchman Timman disappointed, as much more had been expected from a player of his class.

Pomar improved as the tournament progressed and tied with Hernando on five points. The Madrid player, however, is now settling down and must aim decisively for his first norm. He has class.

Sanz and Fraguela finished very low in the standings and did not win a single game, which seems very little, especially in the case of the Spanish champion.

Cerron completed the field, although he appears to be going through an alarming period of poor form.
