The fourth Memorial was played from 10-17 May 1990. Time limitations were forty moves in two hours and twenty moves in one hour. Adjourned games had to be played on the fourth and seventh day of the tournament. The highlight of the tournament was the game Korchnoi-Gurevich. Mikhail played the Leningrad with Black. Viktor had analysed the opening with Vinogradov, Kopilov and Kouzminich forty years ago in Leningrad. He knew the most feared white moves. Gurevich did not find the right defence of the weak square e6 and lost. Korchnoi won the tournament deservedly. |
