The World Seniors Championship held in Opatija, Croatia was won by Anatoly Vaisser.
He was awarded the title on tie break from Jens Kristiansen who also scored 8.5
1 GM Anatoly Vaisser FRA 8.5/11
2 GM Jens Kristiansen DEN 8.5/11
3 GM Krunoslav Hulak CRO 8/11
4 GM Mihai Suba ROU 8/11
5 GM Yuri Balashov RUS 8/11
6 FM Adolf Herzog AUT 8/11
The ENGLISH Players results were:
Tony Ashby 6/11
Ken Norman 6/11
Oliver Jackson 5.5/11
Norman Hutchinson 5.5/11
Dinah Norman 4.5/11
We were told that Dinah created history by being the first women to play in the OPEN (Mens) Seniors World Championship.
I don’t know if that is correct as I have not had time to check the 22 earlier World Seniors’ Championships.
