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.
