1997.07.07-14. Team. 10 rounds Swiss. 30 teams. 585 games. Incomplete.
The first impression is that the tournament was running in rush. Out of 30 teams, 7 came from Jakarta or the Jakarta area. It was not clear why teams like Jakarta BNI or Jakarta STMIK qualified as city representatives. BNI was a bank while STMIK was a college. Big cities in Indonesia, such as Surabaya, Semarang, Makassar, were sorely missed. Oslo was the only representative for West Europe, so was Victoria (Seychelles) for Africa. These facts were somewhat compensated by the presence of numerous strong GMs: Ian Rogers, Georgy Timoshenko, Igor Novikov, Aleksander Nenashev (now Alexander Graf), Sergei Tiviakov, Sergey Dolmatov, Alexander Onischuk, etc.
Although the host teams, especially Bandung, gave their best challenge, the pre-tournament favourites, teams from ex Soviet Union countries, were unstoppable to win the event. Donetsk became the winner, followed by Moscow and Tashkent. Those three teams, especially Donetsk and Moscow, fielded world class players who were capable to race for glory in any team championship anywhere in the world.
The event was the inaugural of world cities chess championship, which was sadly only held twice. The last was in Shenyang, China in 1999. The idea of a city team championship seems not selling well in most American and European countries. They prefer to a club championship instead.
