🔹 Linares 1981
🔹 January 17-31
🔰 CHAMPION: Anatoly Karpov | 8/11 (+5 -0 =6) |
📚The third major chess event held in Linares, Spain became a full GM event due in large part to the maneuvering of grocery tycoon Luis Rentero Suarez. In addition to contracting world champion Anatoly Karpov, he was able to sign 11 other grandmasters, including Larry Christiansen, the winner of Linares (1979). Other sponsors were: the City Council of Linares, the Provincial Council, the Chamber of Commerce, the Spanish Chess Federation, Champagne Codorniu, Pedro Domecq, and several banks.
◼️ The players were:
▪️ Karpov (Elo ranked #1 in the world),
▪️ Lajos Portisch (#2),
▪️ Boris Spassky (#4),
▪️ Bent Larsen (#12),
▪️ Ljubomir Ljubojevic (#14),
▪️ Zoltan Ribli (#20),
▪️ Lubomir Kavalek (#32),
▪️ Svetozar Gligoric (#51),
▪️ Guillermo García González (#61),
▪️ Christiansen (#66),
▪️ Miguel Quinteros (#75),
▪️ Juan Bellón López (#407).
📚 Spassky and García were replacements for Lev Polugaevsky (#7) and Mikhail Tal (#29) (Christiansen says Kavalek replaced Tal). Among the many visitors were Yasser Seirawan, an assistant of world championship challenger Viktor Korchnoi. The players stayed in the Hotel Cervantes. The play took place in the House of Culture, during the same two weeks as the Hoogovens (1981) tournament. The rounds started at 4 pm.
📚 Karpov won with 8/11, and received the magnificent silver artwork and his playing fee. After the event, he considered Portisch vs Karpov, 1981 to be his best game. Christiansen also got 8/11 but was behind on Sonneborn-Berger score. He lost their individual game, but wins against Spassky and Portisch gave the performance of his life, in one of the strongest fields he ever faced. Rentero devised that in Linares the number of wins should be the tiebreak factor. Larsen took third, despite falling into Spassky's trap in Round 4, and turning down Ribli's draw offer in Round 5. After the event, Ljubojevic remained in Linares where he planned to help organize the next year's edition. He also married a local woman.
♦️ The beauty prize went to him for Ljubojevic vs J M Bellon Lopez, 1981.
♦️ Category: XIII (2568). Chief arbiter: IA José María González.
