CUBAN TOURNAMENT
A formal closing and the customary banquet were dispensed with by the Capablanca Chess Club of Havana, sponsoring the recent Cuban International Tournament, out of deference to the memory of the late Juan Quesada, according to the New York Times. Quesada died on March 14, during the tournament.
A cup, donated by President Peron of Argentina, intended for the winner of the tournament, will remain with the club, to be put up for competition in a proposed Quesada Memorial Tournament with the consent of both Samuel Reshevsky of New York and Miguel Najdorf of Buenos Aires, who divided the first and second cash prizes.
The 18-game match between Najdorf and Reshevsky is scheduled to start next week end.
Another special prize, in the form of an elaborate trophy offered by Gen. Manuel Soto-Larrea of Mexico for the best score made by a Cuban, was awarded to Dr. Juan Gonzales of Havana, at one time holder of the United States Speed Championship and winner of the seventh prize.
Here are more games from the tournament:
Arturo Pomar Salamanca (white) vs. Herman Steiner (black)
