OSCAR PANNO
(born Mar-17-1935) Argentina

[what is this?]
Oscar Roberto Panno was born on the 17th of March 1935 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Following winning the World Junior Championship in 1953 he was awarded the IM title in 1954 and the GM title in 1955. He became a Candidate in 1956 and has been Argentine Champion in 1953, 1975 (shared with Miguel Najdorf) and 1985.

For ten years from 1958 to 1968 Panno actively pursued his Civil Engineering career and played very rarely. Upon returning he won three strong tournaments, Buenos Aires 1968 (+8, =2, -1); Palma de Majorca 1971 (+7, =8) and Palma de Majorca 1972 (+6, =8, -1) and he had other good results in the 1970's. He is a strong GM who is still active today but never devoted himself entirely to the game.

  Fusilli: In an interview (posted on an Argentine website: http://www.ajedrezmutante2.galeon.c...) Panno remembers the 1953 World Junior Championship that he won in Copenhagen. He was at a disadvantage when it came to opening theory and novelties, as all chess magazines arrived in Argentina way too late from Europe. So he and his coach, Julio Bolbochan, worked intensively on opening ideas and plans trying to guess what novelties the European players might have already come up with. At that time, the World Junior Championship (it was the 2nd, with Ivkov having won the first) was organized with limited resources, and Panno and Bolbochan were assigned rooms with hosting families. Bolbochan wanted to be with Panno, so they took a room in a rather cheap hotel instead. They would go to sleep at 3am but their hotel room had no thick curtains and the sun would rise at that time in the Copenhagen summer, so they hang a spare bed cover to cover the window. When he returned to Buenos Aires as a world champion, Panno was a celebrity. Peron's government had already scheduled a number of commitments, exhibitions, simuls, etc., around the country for him. It took a while for his life to return to its normal pace.
Aug-19-07   cheski: Oscar Panno as Black versus Dib. Barua, is in a spot of bother at the minute in a B33 For some reason he doesn't want to push his e-pawn up in the middle game.

Tourney in Arnhem, NL, in honour of Max Euwe.

  Fusilli: <cheski> Okay, if I got it right, Panno is playing a tournament in Holland right now. It seems that the link you posted was to a live broadcast of the games, but the game was over by the time I clicked on it and I couldn't find results or finished games on the website (the fact that I don't speak Dutch may have something to do with my ineptitude!) Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks!

  Fusilli: <cheski> Also, could you tell me what dates/time the games are played? I'd like to follow them online. Thanks!

  Fusilli: <cheski> Sorry, I just saw there is an English version of the website.. Duh. It seems the games are going on right now, but for some reason I get nothing when I click on the live games link... and it's not that I don't have Adobe Player. I do have indeed the latest version on my computer. I assume you can see the games without problems, right? (otherwise you wouldn't have posted your last kibitz!)
Aug-19-07   cheski: <Fusilli: >
The games are over for the day. Start again tomorrow Tuesday at 13.00 GMT.

Adobe? Java more like. Good luck.

Happy Birthday Mr.Panno!

  ketchuplover: Didn't he resign rather than play Fischer just before the start of the candidate's matches? Happy Birthday.
Mar-17-08   Petrosianic: Not quite. The game had been rescheduled to a different time than the rest of the round (because of Fischer's refusing to play on the Sabbath), and Panno refused to play at the new time.

For once Fischer was on the other side of primma-donna-ishness. On odd outcome for his last ever tournament game. But principle is principle... T(The fact that it was the last round and they were at a famous island vacation spot might have influenced Panno's decision too, I suppose...)

Mar-17-08   MichAdams: < Bolbochan wanted to be with Panno, so they took a room in a rather cheap hotel instead. They would go to sleep at 3am...>

Enough already.

Mar-17-08   Komapsimnita: I really like this picture. Nice day, folk out playing chess, Panno showing off his mad skillz. I've never played chess outdoors, infact I've seldom played against a real live human being over the board. I'll make these my goals this year.

  whiteshark: Quote of the Day

" Whenever you have to make a rook move and both rooks are available, you should evaluate which rook to move and, once you have made up your mind... move the other one! "

-- Oscar Panno

whiteshark's first addendum: Noooo, the other one!!!

Whining is not cool. I looked at my post again. I was translating an interview to Panno, and this page is devoted to Panno. By translating parts of that interview in Spanish I thought I was paying a service to other people interested in Panno who might check his page. For a website that is full of political and inappropriate b.s. posts, I thought mine was appropriate and posted on the appropriate page, even if I may have gotten a bit carried away by details. Good day and peace.

Great quote by Oscar Panno; when I apply it to my own games, its truth becomes quite apparent :)
