  chessgames.com: Who is "Luis Tavares Da Silva"? Google turns up precious little. Anyhow, if the date and location of the game is plausible, you're probably 90% certain.
May-14-05  Benzol: <chessgames> The info I have has Luis Tavares Da Silva as Brazilian Champion in 1957. He apparently was born in Recife on the 13th of April 1916. This might be him but I'm not certain that it is.
