DESCRIPTION

"MIS AÑOS DE AJEDREZ"

Child Prodigy of Chilean Chess in the 1920s

Lim. Ed. of 1000 copies by Rodrigo Flores Álvarez (2009)

Flores Álvarez, Rodrigo: "Mis años de ajedrez".

Valparaíso, Litografía Garín S.A., 2009. Original softback edition with flaps. Limited Edition of 1000 copies. 248 pages. 22,9 x 15,5 cm. In Spanish.

 

Very good to excellent: It only has one noteworthy defect, the significant crease on pages 39-40 and the slight fold in the lower outer corner on pages 41-46. Otherwise almost like new.

 

The first 184 pages are a detailed Biography with some interesting medium-low quality photos (1 with Capablanca and another with Alekhine when Rodrigo was a child). And from page 185 Rodrigo analyzes 22 Select Games (a couple are from other Chilean players), some with illustrious opponents such as Alekhine, Capablanca, Keres, Pomar..... Interesting chapters, such as the one dedicated to "Torneo de Chile 1935" where he gives us a good "portrait" of the excellent Women Chilean player, Berna Carrasco, or the one dedicated to Fischer.

 

Rodrigo Flores Álvarez was a child prodigy of Chess in the 20s, he participated in 3 Chess Olympiads and was Absolute Champion of Chile no more and no less than 11 times!!! In the following link in Spanish it is possible to see an interesting Biography about Rodrigo: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodrigo_Flores_%C3%81lvarez
