Tournament Review

The Euwe Jubilee was played in Amsterdam from 14-21 May 1976. A quartet of grandmasters played double rounds. The occasion was Euwe’s 75th birthday. A circus tent full of glitter and mirrors stood at the Museumplein, where the general public could drink beer and follow the games. Ten-years-old Short gave a simultaneous display in the tent. The quartet played on the fourth floor of the Van Gogh Museum. Literary Cafe on Tour, the museum and city of Amsterdam sponsored the event. World champion Karpov won.
