  • Nigel Short wins Bazna tournament

    Congratulations to Nigel Short for winning the GM tournament in Bazna, Romania, with a round to spare. Congratulations also to Henrique Mecking for a very creditable performance against some of his rivals from the 1970s.

    Isn't Nigel a lot younger than the other players (except Murariu, who one assumes is local)? I would have liked to have seen Kevin Spraggett in this field.

      Khalifman is several months younger than Short. Murariu is 20 years younger than any of the other players. It looks like Chiburdanidze was also originally scheduled to participate. Not sure why she didn't play. Good to see Nigel back on form after his dental and back ailments.

        Yes, Murariu is a local player. He won a qualification tournament for a wild card in the main event.
