Schachfestival International Chess Festival, annually from (March) 1976 – (March) 1989 Lugano Open, Switzerland: The Fabulous 80s # Sosonko # Seirawan # Korchnoi # Sax # Kurajica # Béla Tóth # Mariotti # Ralf Hess # Tukmakov # Ftáčnik A legendary Open tournament in the beautiful Swiss-Italian (Tyrolian) Prealps town of Lugano, Ticino, Switzerland. The hoodie guy with his back to the camera is indomitable IM Jay Whitehead (R.I.P.). Of course the person he is analyzing with is the one and only, indefatigable GM Viktor Korchnoi. But look at the all-star kibitzers! Ex-World Champion Boris Spassky is seated next to Korchnoi. GM Florin Gheorghiu is standing next to Spassky. GM Sergey Kudrin is between Boris & Viktor. The photo is by French photographer Catherine Jaeg. This nice shot – and text is taken from the homepage Dr. Mark Ginsburg presents a personal chess history – “The Fabulous 80s: Lugano” http://nezhmet.wordpress.com/category/chess-tournaments/lugano-1984/ (Mark Ginsburg, who was rooming with John Fedorowicz, meeting Jay Whitehead – those were the days!)

Open scacchistico internazionale di Lugano – Siegesliste: (Palazzo dei Congressi di Lugano, Patrocinato dalla Banca del Gottardo) Das Lugano Open wurde 1976 von Alois Nagler ins Leben gerufen. Es fand jährlich statt, insgesamt 14 Austragungen bis und mit 1989. Nachdem Lone Pine International; California (von 1971 bis 1981) nicht mehr fortgeführt wurde, war das Lugano Open in den 1980er Jahren zeitweise das stärkstbesetzte Schach – Open der Welt! Lugano ist legitimer Vorläufer des Tradewise Gibraltar Open, Katar Masters Open in Doha oder Aeroflot Open in Moskau. Hauptsponsor war stets die Banca del Gottardo. Mehrere ihrer MitarbeiterInnen unterstützten das Turnier auch persönlich in der täglichen Logistik vor Ort und ermöglichten immer höhere Teilnehmerzahlen. Lugano sah in seiner ersten Austragung 118 Spieler, in den 1980er Jahren waren es immer rund 400, wobei jährlich mehr bis zu 29 Grossmeister (1989) am Start waren, damals eine enorme Zahl, Mitte 1980er gab weltweit etwa 200 aktive Schach-Grossmeister. Viktor Kortschnoi, der langjährige Vize-Weltmeister von (de facto) 1975 bis 1984/85 nahm fünfmal teil und gewann dreimal (sowie einmal Dritter nach Wertung im ersten Rang), Yasser Seirawan, der Junioren-Weltmeister von 1979 nahm sechsmal teil und gewann zweimal. Kortschnoi und Seirawan: Diese zwei Headliner haben das Festival in den 1980er Jahren populär gemacht und mit ihrer offensiven Spielweise viel Aufmerksamkeit generiert. Als aktuelle Top Ten - Spieler waren auch Timman, Hort, Miles, Nunn und Ribli in Lugano im Einsatz. Ebenso grosse internationalen Namen wie Sosonko, Larsen, Short, Hübner, Unzicker, Ivan Sokolov, Andrei Sokolov, Tukmakov, Gulko, Gheorghiu, Georgiev, Ftáčnik, Adorjan, Sax, Torre, Spraggett, Browne, Gligoric, Pachman, Ivkov, Szabo und Samuel Reshevsky, der mehrmals in Lugano spielte. Viele Nachwuchsspieler erzielten IM oder / und GM - Normen. Zukünftige Stars wie Piket, Lautier oder Vishy Anand spielten am Open noch ohne GM-Titel! Im Feld stets dabei auch absolute Topspielerinnen wie Maja Tschiburdanidse als amtierende Weltmeisterin, Pia Cramling, Alisa Marić oder Tatjana Lematschko. Die Schweizer Farben vertraten neben den Dissidenten Kortschnoi und Lematschko unter vielen anderem W. Hug, Bhend, Wirthensohn, Glauser, Leuba, Franzoni, Trepp, Züger, Huss, Gerber, Känel und Karl. Im März1982 gelang Lugano definitiv der internationale Durchbruch mit der gleichzeitigen Teilnahme von Ex-Weltmeister Boris Spasski (als damalige Nr. 6 der ELO - Weltrangliste) und Viktor Kortschnoi (als damalige Nr. 3 der ELO - Weltrangliste). Kortschnoi gewann die Direktpartie (ihre erste seit dem KT-Finale von Belgrad 1977/78) und das Turnier souverän. 1988 gab es zusätzlich ein kleines Blitz-Turnier, mit Ex-Weltmeister Anatoli Karpow, der klar gewann, jedoch nicht am Open teilnahm, da er grosse Open mit Schweizer System als zu unberechenbar mied. Anand spielte hier wohl seine erste Wettkampfpartie gegen Karpov, die er remis halten konnte. Unvergessen: Nigel Short traf in der Schlussrunde von Lugano1985 auf Grand Old Man Sam Reshevsky, ihre Partie (unentschieden) dauerte bis nach Mitternacht! Legendär auch die „David gegen Goliath“ - Siege, wie es sie ja nur an Open-Festivals gibt (in geschlossenen Turnieren sind die Goliaths unter sich): Glauser schlug Timman, Sönke Maus bezwang Dr. Robert Hübner in nur 19 Zügen, Tatjana Lematschko gewann gegen John Nunn, Anand verlor als amtierender Junioren-Weltmeister gegen Alisa Marić sowie gegen Malcolm Pein, heute selber respektierter Turnierveranstalter, oder Jana Miles besiegte Daniel King. Nach der fantastischen Austragung 1989 waren alle Beteiligten voller Pläne für die Zukunft, doch die konjunkturelle Witterung machte dem Sponsor einen Strich durch die Rechnung. DIE SCHACHWOCHE Cover Nr. 10/1987 DIE SCHACHWOCHE Nr. 10 / 1985 The city of Lugano had hosted already the 1968 Chess Olympiad (men), and a Grandmaster Tournament in 1970, a double round robin with eight of the world's top non-soviet chess players. Bent Larsen won outright ahead of easy runner-up Fridrik Olafsson, then as joint third / fourth Unzicker and Gligoric, followed by fifth Robert Byrne, sixth Laszlo Szabo, seventh Lubomir Kavalek and on eight and last place Jan Hein Donner. No swiss player was invited to compete due to lack of strength. Lugano 1970 Compiled by Phony Benoni Eight of the world's top non-Soviet players assembled in Lugano, Switzerland, for a peaceful double- round tournament in early 1970. Using the estimated ratings from Chessmetrics, it was a Category XVI event with an average rating of 2632. Enjoying the scenery were (in alphabetical order): Robert Eugene Byrne, Jan Hein Donner, Svetozar Gligoric, Lubomir Kavalek, Bent Larsen, Fridrik Olafsson, Laszlo Szabo, Wolfgang Unzicker Larsen may have been concentrating more on the board than the scenery, as he won his first five games to take a two-point lead. This looked to be insurmountable, as this was one of those events when having no weak players leads to conservative play. 67% of the games were drawn, and three players were unable to win a single game. Of the 19 decisive games, nearly half involved Larsen. He was able to make it interesting with a couple of losses in the second half, which allowed Olafsson to get within a half-point with three rounds to go. However, Olafsson took a quick draw with White in their twelfth round game, which essentially decided matters. In the last three rounds the only decisive game was Larsen's win over Byrne, consigning the American to fifth place. For Larsen, another in his great run of tournament wins around this time. Olafsson held onto an easy second, followed by Gligoric and Unzicker. The German deserves a special mention; after losing his first two games, his ascent to =3rd included wins over Larsen and Olafsson. 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 1 Larsen ** 1= 10 10 =1 1= 11 == 9.5 points 2 Olafsson 0= ** 10 == 1= =1 1= =1 8.5 points 3 Unzicker 01 01 ** == == == == 1= 7.5 points 4 Gligoric 01 == == ** == == == =1 7.5 points 5 Byrne =0 0= == == ** == == 11 7.0 points 6 Szabo 0= =0 == == == ** == == 6.0 points 7 Kavalek 00 0= == == == == ** == 5.5 points 8 Donner == =0 0= =0 00 == == ** 4.5 points http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chesscollection?cid=1020067 Back to the legendary Open chess tournament, and one of the strongest Swiss Open series ever, sponsored by the Banca del Gottardo, from 1976 to 1989 annually played in March in the beautiful (Swiss-Italian Tyrolian) Prealps town of Lugano, Ticino: Those were the days: Lone Pine, California, Lugano Open Festival, internationally mixed in gender and ages, London Lloyds Bank Masters, and New York Open can be regarded as the predecessors of the Gibraltar Tradewise Chess Festival & Co. today.
