Note: Rainer Polzin had not played enough games to achieve a norm (at least nine games would have been required), but his tournament performance was so well over 2600 points that he definitely (regardless of opponent and result) had met a GM norm if he had played a ninth game, the performance was still recognized as a GM norm.
