also won some prestigious opens (Graz, Chapelle la Grande). And he is also

Bauernverlust zu vermeiden.  Oder er kann seinem Gegner Materialgewinn
gestatten, damit sein Springer vom Spiel ausgeschlossen bleibt. Meine
Intuition und die Gewißheit, daß Hernández keine Varianten mit Remischarakter
spielen würde, verleiteten mich zu einer sehr riskanten Idee. Con esta jugada
las negras agudizan el juego. Yo sentí que esto no podía ser del todo correcto.
Ahora las blancas tienen dos opciones. La primera es debilitar el flanco para
evitar pérdidas materiales inmediatas. La segunda es permitir a las negras
alguna ganancia material para que el caballo quede fuera de juego. Mi
intuición junto a la seguridad de que Hernández no jugaría variantes que
pudieran dar carácter de tablas la partida, me llevaron a ensayar una idea muy

halten, wenn er dort erst einmal steht. Esto es una provocación al Gran
Maestro. Le invito a tomar los peones b2 y a2 para divertir sus piezas en el

{I decided to annotate this game for a few reasons. The first and foremost was,
of course, my laziness, because of which I like annotating my short games more
than long and somebody else's. Secondly, it was the very first victory of the

Amador played 9...0-0, I stopped and tried to remember what I was supposed to
do. Were there any alternatives to 10.Bh6? If not, should White go for the
