Korchnoi, Ribli, and Smyslov were seeded from the 1983-4 Candidates matches. Spassky was chosen by the organizing federation. The other players were seeded from the Interzonals. • Before the tournament a small match tournament was held between the highest-placed nonqualifying players from each of the three Interzonals. The purpose was to establish a reserve for the main event. No reserve, however, was needed.
