  • MIGUEL NAJDORF Por Richard Guerrero ©
    Clase 4: MIGUEL NAJDORF por Richard Guerrero © Biografía, combinaciones y partidas CLASE 4: MIGUEL NAJDORF por Richard Guerrero MIGUEL NAJDORF Biografía 1910-1939: Etapa polaca Primeros años El famoso gran maestro Miguel Najdorf nació el 15 de abril de 1910, en Varsovia (Polonia), siendo el mayor de cinco hijos del matrimonio de Gdalik y Raisa Najdorf, de origen judío. Sus padres lo llamaron Moisha-Mendel (como resultado de una disputa entre ambos), y en la familia lo llamaban afectuosamente Mickel, sin sospechar que éste sería el prototipo del futuro nombre que él adoptaría cuando se nacionalizara argentino en 1944. Sin embargo, según su pasaporte, su nombre era Mieczyslaw. Muchas veces Miguel Najdorf narró su primer encuentro con el ajedrez, a los catorce años: "Era 1924, y una tarde, a la salida de la escuela, fui de visita a la casa de mi compañero, Rubén Fridelbaum. Me recibió su papá, un violinista de la Filarmónica de Varsovia, quien me dijo que Rubén había ido hasta la farmacia a comprar unos remedios. El hombre estaba engripado y terriblemente aburrido. Mientras aguardábamos el regreso del hijo, él me preguntó si yo sabía jugar ajedrez. Le dije que no y me contestó de mal modo: -¿No te da vergüenza?, un chico inteligente no puede ser tan ignorante. Acércate al tablero que te enseño. Por cortesía tuve que aceptar. Me indicó el nombre de las piezas, el movimiento y el valor de cada una, y jugamos unas pocas partidas. Salí entusiasmado y me compré un libro de ajedrez en francés para seguir estudiando. A la semana siguiente ya le daba una torre de ventaja." De inmediato, el ajedrez se convirtió en su pasión, que ya nunca abandonaría.
