RUDOLFO TAN CARDOSO
(born Dec-25-1937) Philippines

[what is this?]
Rudolfo Tan Cardoso was born in Anda in the Philippines in 1937. Awarded the IM title in 1957 he was Philippine Champion in 1958 and 1963. Winning the Asian zonal tournament of 1957-58 he qualified for the interzonal at Portoroz in 1958. He finished in 19th place (out of 21 players), but his performance was notable for the last round defeat of David Bronstein which kept Bronstein out of the subsequent Candidates Tournament.

  chancho: She? <ughaibu> Get some sleep dude!
Aug-22-05   ughaibu: Hm? Bobby's a girl's name, isn't it.
Aug-09-06   rjsolcruz: It's RODOLFO and not radolfo.
Dec-25-06   DutchDunce: Rudolfo, the tan-nosed chess player...
Dec-25-06   rjsolcruz: The Pepsi Cola Match in 1957 was an exhibition match between then junior champions; fischer od usa and cardoso of philippines. fischer became a chess legend with his game of the century vs byrne, candidates shut-out wins and winning the world championship vs boris spassky in 1972 in iceland where he is now residing.
Dec-25-06   rjsolcruz: Cardoso became an IM and once worked with MERALCO. He maybe the only Filipino who has a WIN against the legendary Bobby Fischer, a former World Champion.
