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.

What dreadful noise of waters in my ears!
What sights of ugly death within my eyes!”

On a white heal-all, holding up a moth

This petrified heart has taken,

Nothing but death remained
To scatter magnificence....”
