Compiled by suenteus po 147

The 43rd annual Hoogovens chess tournament was a category XII event held in Wijk aan Zee, The Netherlands in 1981. 13 top chess players competed in a round robin format in the prestigious A event. The participants were (in order of ELO): Jan Timman (2620), Ulf Andersson (2610), Gennady Sosonko (2595), Anthony Miles (2590), Gyula Sax (2560), Walter Shawn Browne (2555), Eugenio Torre (2550), Florin Gheorgiu (2545), Evgeni Sveshnikov (2535), Wolfgang Unzicker (2515), Mark Taimanov (2500), Hans Ree (2485), and Kick Langeweg (2455). Andras Adorjan was also invited to compete, but was ill at the time and was only able to complete two games (in rounds 1 and 3) before withdrawing from the tournament. The anomalous (but annulled) games have been included for their historical accuracy, the forfeited games have been omitted. The final standings and crosstable are as follows:
