Tournament Review

The ninth Memorial took place from 12-18 May 1995. World champion Kasparov dominated the event but did not win. it. His victory with the Evans Gambit against Piket was spectacular. He sacrificed a piece against Lautier in round four but had forgotten his preparation and lost. Stijn Rademaker photographed Gary's despair. Eventually Lautier won the tournament.
