Summary: 

As of August 20, Yasser Seirawan is still in the running in the
process that will produce a challenger for the world championship
in 1986.  Seirawan qualified for the Candidates Tournament by
taking second place in the third Interzonal Tournament, which was
held in Biel, Switzerland.  Rafael Vaganian and Andrei Sokolov
also qualified by placing first and third, respectively, in that
Interzonal.  Another qualifier was to be determined in a playoff
among John Van der Wiel, Eugenio Torre, and Nigel Short, who
shared fourth place.
