This tournament, which was played under standard time controls, was noteworthy because of the participation of the 12th world champion Anatoly Karpov, who has practically abandoned active chess these days, concentrating instead on a range of charitable and other engagements. However, this month the chess legend was tempted out of his near-retirement, to take part in the ten-player closed tournament, in the Serbian town of Valjevo.

The event was sponsored by the Gorenje Group, an international company, which specialises in the manufacture and sale of large household appliances. In the end the winner was Israeli GM Michael Roiz, who like Turkey's Suat Atalik scored 6.5/9 points but was better on tiebreak.
