The 372-pIayer Championship section featured 113 masters, including nine GM's and 13 IM's. Seven players split $10,000 in prize money by tying for first place at GM Dmitry Gurevich of Chicago, IM Alexander Ivanov of Massachusetts, IM Igor Ivanov of Dominguez Hills, GM Grigory Kaidanov of the Soviet Union, 1 5-year-old Gata Kamsky of New York City, GM Sergey Kudrin of Connecticut and IM Jeremy Silman of Beverly Hills.

Under the leadership of Fred Gruen-berg of Chicago, who organizes the tournament in cooperation with the U.S. Chess Federation, the National Open has grown to become the most successful of the USCF's "Triple Crown" events. Only the privately run World Open and New York Open have attracted greater crowds, and they have the advantage of drawing on larger local player pools in Philadelphia and New York City. Gruenberg succeeds with enthusiastic promotion. He bills the National Open as "the affordable event," and emphasizes all the free extras for players.

He has the most spacious playing hall, and he hires a large crew of capable directors to minimize disputes. Gruenberg will turn over the tournament to someone else next year, and it will be interesting to see if the new organizer can match his accomplishments.

Jonathan Speelman of England and Zur-ab Azmaiparashvili, Evgeny Bareev, Alexander Khalifman and Mikhail Gurevich of the Soviet Union all scored 7-4 in the strong 42-player tournament.

All but Gelfand and Ivanchuk qualify. The GMA had allotted 12 spots in the World Cup to top scorers in the tournament, but another rule prevented more than five Soviet players from qualifying. On tiebreak, Belyavsky became the lucky fifth Soviet representative, while Gelfand and Ivanchuk, two youngsters who may be the world's third- and fourth-best players, missed out.

The final three qualifying spots went to Kirill Georgiev of Bulgaria, Predrag Ni-kolich of Yugoslavia and Yasser Seira-wan of Seattle, who finished in a tie with many Soviets at 6-5. Thus, two of the four U.S. players competing in Moscow qualified. Boris Gulko of Massachusetts finished with and Tony Miles, nominally of Seattle, had 4V4-6W. There will be 24 players in the next World Cup.
