Tournament Review

The fifth Memorial took place from 1-13 May 1991. Games were played in Amsterdam again due to the lesser interest in Rotterdam. The nine participants of the previous events and world champion Kasparov were invited for the lustre. Gary proposed replacements for Hjartarson and Van der Wiel but met no sympathy.
Most games were drawn at first. Halfway the tournament took off. We follow the ten wins by the top four. A surprise was the first place of Salov and Short. Spectators got small presents when they made smart comments on the games. The book Carel Mann was the gift in 1991.
