EK: BCM is wrong! In Zone 2A Shvidler and Lau played off for 2nd place. When it was tied at 2-2 Shvidler "won" because of a superior SB score in the main tournament. So Shvidler qualified for a further playoff match against 2nd placed from zone 2B which was Petursson, not Agdestein. Namely in zone 2B Petursson and Agdestein tied for 1st place and played off. Agdestein won and thus qualified for Interzonal, while Petursson qualified for playoff between 2nd placed from zone 2A. The clipping from Skakbladet is right when it says that Shvidler qualified for playoff against Petursson, while the BCM report is wrong when it says that he will play against Agdestein. • About the playoff itself: Did it even happen? I couldn't find any records of it. Maybe Shvidler forfeited, because after all it was Petursson who played in Interzonal. [Ref. BI072028]

EK: Graeme Cree says that there are no record of a playoff. He is wrong. The thing is that Seirawan was already qualified by rating and Tarjan retired from chess. So this only left Dlugy and Fedorowicz. And they did play off in New York 1984. Dlugy won with 3.5-2.5. Walter Browne came into the Interzonal as a last minute replacement from the rating list for Mikhail Gurevich. [Ref. BI072028]

EK: There were two Tunisians: Bouaziz and Hmadi. One of them qualified from zone 12 and the other one was host nominee (by Tunis). Which was which? [Ref. BI072028]
