A Very Nice Performance by Jaan Ehlvest: Reggio Emilia 1989–90
Jaan Ehlvest is a friend of mine on Facebook. I had posted the top 100 chess performances in history. He did not find his own performance from this tournament there. So, he asked about it in the comments. I told him it would be my next tournament! He did very well, of course, but he didn’t crack the top 100. He got G = 186, which is categorized as Very Nice in my original names for the G-score categories. I do believe Mr. Ehlvest has higher G-scores than this lurking in the mists of chess history, and I will endeavor to find them!! For now, here is my report on this important tournament.
