The Phillips & Drew prestigious 'King's' Tournament held in London, England in 1980 was a category XIII event. Fourteen of the West's strongest players competed in the round robin event, including the most promising of England's chess talent at the time. The competitors were (in order of ELO): Viktor Korchnoi (2695), Florin Gheorghiu (2605), Jan Timman (2600), Ulf Andersson (2590), Bent Larsen (2590), Ljubomir Ljubojevic (2590), Gyula Sax (2570), Anthony Miles (2545), Gennady Sosonko (2545), Walter Shawn Browne (2540), Michael Stean (2530), John Nunn (2515), Jonathan Speelman (2490), and 14 year-old English chess prodigy Nigel Short (2360). The tournament saw a trifecta finish, with Andersson, Korchnoi, and England's own Miles sharing first place with 8.5/13. The final standings and crosstable are as follows:
