Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-26-04  jsastre48: Puiggros was a cigar puffing Argentinian tactical player who played in Uruguay in the early 1960's and even became the Uruguay chess champion. Always impecably dressed and "peinado a la gomina"!
Sep-26-04  Willem Wallekers: Hairdo with brillantine?
Sep-26-04  molinov: something like that.
Sep-26-04  molinov: I am gonna look for some games of Puiggrós, see if a can find a win.
Oct-01-04  jsastre48: Indeed hairdo with brillantine. He has very nice wins I think it can be found in other databases.
Oct-01-04  technical draw: For a "peinado a la gomina" sample, see any Carlos Gardel photo.
Oct-01-04  Willem Wallekers: I think I know the type from the movie Evita. The crooner who discovered her. Am I right?
Oct-01-04  Willem Wallekers: Was Capablanca peinado a la gomina?
Oct-01-04  technical draw: Yes, Willem, I have seen some pictures of Capablanca with that doo. Capa was always considered "dapper".
