| Eastfrisian: Dr. Ricardo Calvo Minguez was born on 22.10.1943 in Alcoy (Alicante) and died on 26.09.2002 due complications of gulletcancer. He had a doctorate degree of medicine. Calvo was fluent in Spanish, Catalanian, English, German and Latin.
He was a high rated chess historian.
In 1987 he had some problems with the FIDE, which declared him to "persona non grata". That was the end of his professional chess career. For a few years Dr. Calco played in the German Chess-Bundesliga (as I remember for the Munich-team). He played for Spain on five chess-olympiades.

| I3illieJoe: Why would chessgames.com have this person as player of the day? If he really said those racial comments, then he was a disgrace for the world of chess, and for the world itself. |

| Fusilli: <al wazir: <Morales: There is nothing racist in it.> You're right. Here's the article: http://www.samsloan.com/one-brid.ht...; Unbelievable! I just read it. It's true: there is absolutely nothing racist about it. What you can see instead is a man who was committed to removing Campomanes from the conduction of FIDE. His becoming "persona non grata" must have been simple retaliation. |
