National Open Chicago 1991

31 May–2 June 1991 · Rosemont, Chicago area, Illinois, USA
Yermolinsky won with 5½/6
Event Index 191 GAMES

Walter Browne took the Edmondson Cup on tiebreak after five players shared 5½/6. Alex Yermolinsky, Alexander Ivanov, Alexander Fishbein and Dmitry Gurevich finished on the same score. The National Open drew 640 entrants across its main sections.

Championship and Reserve

The six-round event was held at the Ramada O’Hare Resort Hotel. Bob Parsons won the Reserve with a perfect 6/6. The archive’s 191 scores include games from both sections; combining them into one final table would misrepresent the competition.

Associated blitz

Joel Benjamin, Roman Dzindzichashvili and Georgi Orlov shared the Championship blitz title with 8/11 in the twelve-player final. Its qualifying events and the under-1800 Reserve blitz also belong to the edition. Remi Davis won the Reserve final with 7½/10.

Unavailable played games

Published reports establish an additional standard game and five blitz pairings absent from the available sources. The complete number of games actually played is unknown. Contemporary reports also disagree about the blitz date; every original game date is preserved.
