DR. JUAN CARLOS GONZALEZ (born Jul-15-1917) Cuba (citizen of United States of America) [what is this?] Dr. Juan Carlos González de Vega was Cuban champion in 1942, 1943, 1951 and 1952. He won the US Speed Championship of 1946. From Chess Review: "Dr. Juan Gonzalez, new U.S. Speed Champion, is a busy resident in surgery at Manhattan's West Side Hospital. While on call, he frequently utilizes his time analysing opening variations, looking over games. Like many another doctor, he finds chess welcome relaxation from the rigors of his exacting professional duties."
