Vassily Ivanchuk and Garry Kasparov shared first at Dortmund 1992 with 6/9. The complete ten-player, 45-game round robin placed Evgeny Bareev half a point behind them.

The field

The event brought together Kasparov, Ivanchuk, Bareev, Viswanathan Anand, Gata Kamsky, Valery Salov, Robert Hübner, Michael Adams, Alexei Shirov, and Jeroen Piket. The organizer's history identifies Kasparov and Ivanchuk as co-winners.

That meant 45 games over 9 rounds.

Equal points by different routes

Ivanchuk scored four wins, four draws, and one loss. Kasparov scored five wins, two draws, and two losses. Both reached 6, with Bareev third on 5½ and Anand fourth on 5.

The historical title is shared despite Kasparov's extra win. The outcome therefore must name both co-winners instead of letting a wins-based ordering present Kasparov alone.
