The impressive figure of Grandmaster of Chess of Miguel Najdorf doesn't need a presentation. His first places in traditional Mar del Plata tournaments in 1942, 1944, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1959, 1961, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969 or second places in 1941 (behind Stahlberg), 1943 (behind Stahlberg), 1953 (behind Reshevsky), 1954 (behind Panno), 1955 (behind Ivkov), 1956 (behind Keres), his extraordinary performance in Zurich 1953 or Buenos Aires 1970, behind Fischer, Tukmakov and Panno, but ahead of Reshevsky, Georghiu, Smyslov, Mecking, etc…, or Buenos Aires 1979, a second place behind Larsen, but in front of Ivkov, Spassky, Georghiu, Quinteros, Petrosian, Panno, etc…, or Buenos Aires 1980, behind Larsen, Timman, Ljubojevic and Andersson, but ahead of Quinteros, Karpov, Balashov, Olaffson, etc…, to quote no more, speak by themselves.

I think that his best performances were his first place in Amsterdam 1950, ahead of Reshevsky, Stahlberg, Pirc, Gligoric, Euwe, Pilnik, Rossolimo, Trifunovic, O'Kelly, Tartakower, Donner, etc… and his first place in Memorial Capablanca 1962, in front of Spassky, Polugaevsky, Gligoric, Smyslov, Ivkov, Pietzsch, Haag, Ciocaltea, Guimard, Pachman, etc…

He had a marvellous memory. I personally saw him reading an article in a newspaper and some minutes after this, reproducing it literally. This must be an important help when you play 45 blindfold simultaneous games (Sao Paulo 1947).

As all great players, he had a "complete style", but he prefered combinational play and kept it alive until his last days.

Eight times Argentine Champion, he was principal impulsor of chess in this country, that assumed of his own in 1939, when decided to live in it, avoiding unrational barbarity that was destroying Europe in those days.

What more can I say from him?

Only that it was a honour to have shared a little part of his admirable life and now is also a honour to direct a tournament in his memory.

I wish all of you good luck and many interesting games.

Kind Regards

Jorge Rodriguez
