Dec-26-04    Benzol: Eldis Cobo Arteaga Born 5th September 1929 Joint Cuban Champion in 1950 he was awarded the IM title in 1967. Apr-23-06    szunzein: CG: I'm affraid that M. Eldis Cobo passed away long ago; would you update the information above? I'm aware that there are tournaments in Cuba on "Eldis Cobo in memorian". Thanks Apr-23-06    szunzein: BTW he was a strong player, 22.7% doesn't reflec his strength, but CG is not to blame for that of course. Sep-05-06    BIDMONFA: Eldis Cobo Arteaga COBO, Eldis http://www.bidmonfa.com/cobo_eldis.... _ Mar-06-08    Joshka: This guy also won the US Open in 1958!!...one year after Bobby did. May-13-09    Petrosianic: After he won the US Open, <Chess Review> ran a puff piece announcing the result and questioning whether Cobo-Arteaga might be the next Capablanca. (Not trying to put any pressure on the guy, you understand.) Unfortunately, in the end, it took more than being born in Havana to be Capablanca, as should have been obvious from the outset, really. So, if you think trying to inject Fischer into a story about Cobo-Arteaga's US Open win is silly, <Chess Review> went one better. Dec-07-09    machuelo: As szunzein mention, Eldis Cobo passed away long time ago, still young. I was very close friend of his and his family. And yes, he won the US Open in 1958 over Larry Evans and Robert Byrne among others. He, Jesús Rodríguez and Eleazar Jimenez, perennial Cuban Chess Champion ion the 60th, were the best players of the island before the new generation; all them passed away. Mr. Cobo Arteaga was a nice and afable gentleman with many friends in the chess world. Rest in Peace. Miguel A. Sánchez (New York 2009)
