Tournament Review

Golden Sands 82 - Three Winners

For many years the Golden Sands tournament had been a springboard toward the grandmaster title. Gradually its character became increasingly youthful, and by 1976 it had settled into the role of a significant international-master-level competition.

The twenty-first edition initially appeared likely to remain at that traditional level, but the cooperation of friendly chess federations unexpectedly brought three grandmasters into the field and raised the category. Thirteen players from eight countries gathered at the Transtroy holiday centre. Even so, the grandmaster norm of 9.5 points - effectively plus seven - was so high that it seemed unattainable from the outset.

It quickly became clear that the field was extremely even and that the grandmasters were not in their best sporting form. This encouraged the Bulgarian players, who began very well. In the second round, for example, Peev defeated Nogueiras and Donchev defeated Savon, producing a striking 2.5-0.5 score against the grandmasters.

Later setbacks cooled the title-norm ambitions and the struggle shifted toward the top places. The tournament began to resemble a multi-stage cycling race, with the "yellow jersey" constantly changing hands. Peev, Donchev and Gruenberg led at different moments; then Brandstetter and Grigorov caught them.

Before the final round Gruenberg and Grigorov led with seven points. Gruenberg faced Savon, Donchev had to play Semkov, Grigorov had Black against Peev, and Brandstetter was expected to beat the youngest Bulgarian participant, Kiril Georgiev. Savon's extra pawn proved insufficient to win; Grigorov accepted a draw without unnecessary risk; Kiril Georgiev refused a draw and won; and Donchev, with maximum concentration, also won.

The result was a three-way tie for first place - the first time in the history of this Black Sea tournament that three players had shared victory. The result was broadly satisfying. Grigorov and Donchev, both experienced international masters, finished ahead of the grandmasters and demonstrated a visible rise in their playing strength.
