The third event was played in May 1982. Gary Kasparov was the young star. He triumphed in a grand style by 9½/13, 1½ points before Polugaevsky and Ljubojevic, and 2 points before Spassky and Hübner.

Bugojno number four occurred from 25 v until 10 vi 1984. Primovac, manager of 'Slavko Radic', and Domancinovic, head of the town council, were been the main organisers of the previous three events. They had left Bugojno. The extravagant director Bjelica acted strangely in their places. Timman walked on crotches due to a broken leg, but he went forwards in the tournament by big steps. Jan triumphed by 8½/13, half-a-point before Ribli and one point before Torre.

The fifth and final Bugojno tournament lasted from 25 v until 14 vi 1986. When Hübner heard about the starting fees and prizes on the phone, he demanded a written document. Bjelica invited Portisch instead. Lajos came and enjoyed a paid tennis vacation with Boris on the court near Hotel Akvarium. But the holy goal of a category 16 tournament had been achieved. Eight grandmasters played double rounds. Karpov won the tournament by 8½/14. Sokolov and Ljubojevic followed by one point. 70% of the games was drawn.

The organisers had great plans for an event in 1988, but nothing happened. Even a tournament book for 1986 was not published. When Yvette Nagel complained about the extreme dullness of Bugojno, she did not have the coming events in mind at all. The preparation of hostilities began in 1986. Verbal animosities raged from 1988 until 1991. Outright warfare occurred near Bugojno from 1993 until 1995. The battle for the strategic Donji Vakuf affected the northern side of Bugojno. Bosnia was divided by the Dayton agreement.
When Maarten de Zeeuw visited Bugojno in 1996, he found a largely destroyed Hotel Akvarium. Only the large Rook had survived the war (this monument celebrated the 1978 event). All organisers had left, because they were Serbians.
