Gufeld is already the author of 56 chess books. Gufeld has probably written more chess books than any other grandmaster, with the exception of English grandmaster Raymond Keene, who has written 102 published chess books.
Gufeld was crying after he failed to defeat Miles in the last round. Gufeld said he had many ways to win, and then when it was a dead draw Miles insisted on playing another 50 moves unnecessarily.
Gufeld was crying because the players who scored 7.5-1.5 received $3,733.33 each. However, Gufeld and the others who scored 7-2 received only a few hundred dollars each.
The tournament was held on August 10-20, 1999 and was directed by Jerome V. Weikel and his family. It was organized by Barbara Woodward and the Sands Regency Hotel in Reno. A total of $63,300 in prizes were paid.
