Tournament Review

It had lasted a decade until another Euwe tournament was organised. The original idea of an annual tradition was applied by the Verenigde Spaarbank or VSB. The organisation was very similar to the Euwe Jubilee: a quartet of grandmasters played double rounds in May, the days for adjourned games followed after the third and fifth rounds, and the fifth and sixth rounds were exchanged.

The first of ten Euwe Memorials was played in Amsterdam from 7-14 May 1987. Playing hall was Singel 548, main building of the bank. Karpov and Timman won.
