ENRIQUE REED VALENZUELA (born Aug-01-1915, died May-11-1958, 42 years old) Chile [what is this?] He was Chilean champion in 1932. His earliest game known to us is a 50-move loss against Alekhine in a simultaneous exhibition in Santiago on 27 December 1927. The game-score was given on pages 7-8 of Alekhine in Europe and Asia by J. Donaldson, N. Minev and Y. Seirawan (Seattle, 1993), which quoted Alekhine's remark at the time: ‘Enrique Reed also is a promising youngster, and he showed an excellent temperament'. Alekhine gave him further praise when annotating the game Reed v Danielsson, Buenos Aires, 1939 on pages 73-75 of Gran Ajedrez (Madrid, 1947): "One of the very few revelations of the 1939 Buenos Aires Olympiad was Ernst sic Reed, the young Chilean (of Germany ancestry) whose style was distinguished by its clear energy and daring attacking conception". https://www.chesshistory.com/winter...
