There had been great tumult in the chess world since the last VSB event. Kasparov and Short had played the PCA world championship, while Karpov and Timman executed the FIDE version in 1993. These four were invited for participation at one moment of the organisation. Karpov disliked the setup. Eventually he was replaced by Ivanchuk. The eighth Memorial took place from 12-19 May 1994. Kasparov played great chess until he blundered against Ivanchuk. Gary fled. When Vassily was defeated by Timman in the last round, Kasparov became the conqueror. Gary expressed his immense gratitude to Jan during the prize-giving. The confused Ivanchuk had left the bank and returned hours later. |
