| molinov: Now that Fischer is in trouble I remembered that Quinteros was suspended for playing in South Africa.I think he was suppose to stop playing tournaments for a year or two but he quit chess altogether. |

| molinov: After a while he made sudden appearences in some tournaments. I think that now he is retired |

| GreenCastle: As I understand it, 2... c7 in the Sicilian is known as the Quinteros Variation. |

| cade: Playboy: Who is the biggest playboy amongst the grandmasters in the world today? Topalov: Argentinean Miguel Quinteros, but he is not so successful as a chess player. |

| Benzol: I believe his wife was a former Miss Argentina. He played in NZ a few years ago and his wife was with him. Quite an attractive lady if I remember rightly. He finished 1st in the tournament and he's a GM so he can't be too bad as a player either. |

| Richard Taylor: <Benzol> he played simuls here -he was/is? a very good looking man, very polite and "debonair" - he won fairly easily against me in the simul! That game v Fischer he lost (English opening) is incredible. I just picked up a book about Fischer "Fischer the Wandering King" by a couple of Dutch authors..it was a docu in Holland - quite interesting - got it (by chance on special) for $7 at The Warehouse in Pakuranga. Lol. |

| Benzol: <Richard> Must have been great to have played Quinteros in a simul. When do Tony and Stan head down to Wanganui? My brother-in-law's elder brother is helping with the directing of the tournament. As he's just recovering from major heart surgery I hope it won't be too much of a strain. |

| Jonathan Sarfati: Quinteros visited Wellington in 1978 and won the GM tourney there very convincingly ahead of Torre. He was married to Benji, a Philipina IIRC. Quinteros was kind enough to play me one on one when I was a kid of 13. He played the unsound Salvio Gambit and I happened to know the refutation, but he got his revenge easily the second game. |
|

|
| Benzol: <Jonathan> If I remember correctly the Salvio Gambit runs 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4 3. f3 g5 4. c4 g4 5.e5 h4+ 6. f1 but I'm unaware of the refutation. What happens next? |
|

|
| Jonathan Sarfati: <Benzol> That's right. 6...Nc6 is regarded as the strongest, and White comes under devastating attack in all lines. IIRC he said, "That's theoretical, no?" |

| Benzol: <Jonathan> Thanks for that. |

| stonebrain2006: See game 456. Quinteros 1/2 Kasparov 1/2 Moscow, 1982. |
|

| stonebrain2006: Certainly, Mr. Quinteros was not a beginner.
See:
Quinteros 1/2 Karpov 1/2 Wien open, 1986
Quinteros 1/2 Smyslov 1/2,1986.
|
|
| Dec-28-07 |
| stonebrain2006: A game worth looking is:
Quinteros 1 Tigran Petrosian 0, Buenos Aires, 1979.
The former world champion thoroughly trashed by the Argentinian playboy in a Catalan! |
