Dec-29-04    Benzol: Guillermo Garcia Gonzalez Born 9th December 1953 in Las Villas Awarded the IM title in 1974 and the GM title in 1976 He was Cuban champion in 1974, 1976 and 1983. Feb-25-05    chenturini: The cuban GM Guillermo Garcia died in car accident in 1991, I think, because in "hispanoamerica" GARCIA is a frequent last name, with GONZALEZ as mother last name, exists a high grade of confussion. Aug-03-07    Fusilli: <chenturini: The cuban GM Guillermo Garcia died in car accident in 1991> According to this website on Cuban chess he actually died on October 26, 1990, as chenturini says, in a car accident: http://www.cuba.cu/ajedrez/maestros... The website also specifies that he died as he prepared to play in the Novi Sad Olympiad.
