Death
To celebrate Polugaevsky's 60th birthday a Sicilian Defense themed tournament was held in recognition of his contributions to the opening. The event was funded by Luis Rentero and took place in Buenos Aires in October 1994. Sadly, Polugaevsky was too ill to participate. He died of a brain tumour in 1995.
