  • Mar Del Plata and Buenos Aires
    BUENOS AIRES AND MAR DEL PLATA Originally by Jan van Reek, 1945 – 2015, www.endgame.nl (now inactive), reviewed and extended 35 Mar del Plata closed invitation tournaments (numbered series!), about 20 major Buenos Aires closed invitation tournaments will be presented, plus famous the Mar del Plata Open series, World Championships & Candidates matches and two Olympiads. After exhibitions and simuls by Géza Maróczy in 1925 & Alexander Alekhine in 1926 given in the city of Buenos Aires, and the famous World Championship match in 1927 between Raul Capablanca and Alexander Alekhine, Argentine chess improved immensely, when many players stayed in Buenos Aires after the Chess Olympiad in 1939, due to the outbreak of World War II. Main immigrants were Najdorf, Eliskases, Stahlberg (later moving to Sweden), or already earlier Pilnik, plus today forgotten chess masters. Strong international tournaments could be held. The new events helped them in survival and gave a training. Keres co-won the Circulo in 1939. Other European players joined after WW II: ie. Euwe, Szabo, O'Kelly, or Pomar had a hard time in Argentina against mentioned Najdorf, Eliskases, Stahlberg, Pilnik, and Argentine born Ju. Bolbochán, Guimard, Rossetto, Sanguineti. Next geographical outsider, not living in South America, who won a tournament, was Gligoric, later Ivkov, Larsen and Pachman, followed in 1960 by Fischer & Spassky, and Korchnoi & Reshevsky, respectively. ➔ Panno became the new top talent: Junior WCC 1953 and first native Argentine GM 1955. Casino Central in Mar del Plata has been used as a tournament hall from 1941 Roberto Grau (1900 - 1944) Later, the enormous Hotel Provincial was built next to it At the beginning, only a handful of Europeans and Americans participated among a majority of South Americans in the Argentine international events.

  • VENEZIA – Venice Survey by Jan Van Reek, Endgame.Nl
    VENEZIA – Venice survey by Jan van Reek, endgame.nl The first series of international invitation Italian tournaments (before Reggio Emilia and later in the 1970/80s Rome were launched) has been played in Venice. Preliminary events happened in 1929 (inaugural edition of the series) and in 1930 (five players, not numbered), then restarting in 1947, played annually the first four editions, afterwards held unregularly until 1974. Tartakower took clear first in 1947, O’Kelly and Canal joint runners-up, followed by Monticelli, and Grob (14 players). Najdorf won ahead of Canal, Barcza and Euwe in 1948. Szabo triumphed in 1949 above 2. Rossolimo, 3. Prins, 4.-7. Golombek, Gligoric, Barcza, Foltys, 8. Paoli, 9. Kottnauer, etc. (16 players). The tournaments were played in fine buildings each time. Venice 1950 became a great event: Kotov won before Smyslov, Rossolimo, and Pachman. Enrico Paoli won the brilliancy prize for a famous game he played against Soviet grandmaster Kotov. Replay with background comments in Chessgames: Kotov vs E Paoli, 1950. Hotel Lido Tournament hall in 1929 Salone delle feste dell’Ala Napoleonica Tournament hall in 1947 Sala delle Colonne di Ca’ Giustinian Hall in 1948, 1949, 1950 and 1953 In the next Venice edition in 1953 succeeded Esteban Canal, legendary Peruvian player domiciled in Italy (for a biographical portrait of Canal, see next page).

  • And Coach. Born in Buenos Aires, He Represented
    Bolbochan Julio (10.03.1920 - 28.06.1996) Chess legend, IM (1950), GM Hon. (1977) and coach. Born in Buenos Aires, he represented Argentina in seven Chess Olympiads from 1950 to 1970. At the 9th Olympiad in Dubrovnik 1950 he was awarded a gold medal for the best score at board 2 with 11½ out of 14. With Argentina, he won three team Silver medals (1950, 1952, 1954, always on board 2, always unbeaten), a team Bronze plus an individual board Silver in 1954, as best player in the Final A-group. In the 1950s, Bolbochan had ‘the reputation of being the hardest player in the world to defeat’ (Leonard Barden), he spent his first 50 Olympic games in a row without losing any game ! In 1954, Bolbochan played in the match USSR-Argentina on board two where he drew both games with Paul Keres. Other than this, most of his chess was in South America. Julio Bolbochan won (sole or shared) the Zonal tournaments in Mar del Plata in 1951 – see below, Sao Paulo 1960, and in Rio Hondo in 1966 (quadruple tie, second on play-off behind Mecking). He thus qualified three times for an Interzonal, but played only once, finishing in the Stockholm Interzonal in 1962 in a strong field at 11.5/22 (+5-4=13), notably just half a point behind prodigy Pomar at 12/22 who got the GM title by FIDE for this result, and still ahead of several GMs. Earlier, in the Saltsjöbaden / Stockholm Interzonal in 1952, after a draw in the round 2 game vs.
