Miguel Najdorf - 'El Viejo' - Life, Games and StoriesAuthor(s): Zenon Franco\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Thinkers Publishing, Belgium\nImprint: Thinkers Publishing\nISBN-13: 9789464201130, 978-9464201130\nSynopsis\nI was lucky enough to play against six world champions and several top players in my modest chess career, but the greatest player I feel privileged to have known, to have spent time with him, was Miguel Najdorf, El Viejo.\n\nThis is a chess book, with 275 commented games, it covers all his chess career, but it has also many stories. Najdorf was the most important Argentinean chess player, and he was an exceptional person. Oscar Panno said that Najdorf reminded him of Don Quixote, in the part of the book where he tells Sancho Panza, Wherever I am, that is where the head of the table is going to be. He successfully overcame the most terrible setbacks, as few are capable of doing. Writing about Miguel Najdorf is one of my greatest pleasures as a chess journalist and writer.
