Kibitzer's Corner
Jul-21-17  syracrophy: José Félix Villarreal Félix has been one of the great figures of mexican chess from his junior years. He made his great breakthrough on his second Olympic participation at Malta (1980), playing 4th Board, by taking the first of the only two golds of Mexico's overall record. He represented Mexico in three more Olympiads, being Istanbul (2000) his last appearance.

Gabriel Velasco, the venturesome author of the first complete anthologies of life and games of Mexican legends Carlos Torre and Marcel Sisniega, pointed out on his book on Sisniega that Villarreal scored a brilliant win against the Serbian master, Nenad Ristic, at a World U20. Here it is and will make one more attempt of submit.
