| 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. |
|
Dec-29-06
|
| 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.
|

| 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! |

| Fusilli: <stonebrain2006> Just a little tip: if you go to the page for the game you cite and then copy the URL for that page into your post, your post will show the game in question (rather than the URL) and it will be a link. Useful for your readers if you are inviting them to check out that game. For example:
Quinteros vs Petrosian, 1979

|
| Fusilli: <Augalv> Hey, do you know anything about Quinteros nowadays? Where is he? Is he still active? |
|
| Dec-28-08 |
| Augalv: <Fusilli> He is semi-retired, he plays in tournaments but very rarely.
He is more active now as a Fide Representative in Argentina. |
