Feb-09-16  Nosnibor: Did this player give up chess to sell ice cream after 1961 ? A win against Gligoric and draws against Filip,Bisguier and Ivkov seems to indicate he was quite a strong player.

  Fusilli: <Nosnibor: Did this player give up chess to sell ice cream after 1961 ? A win against Gligoric and draws against Filip,Bisguier and Ivkov seems to indicate he was quite a strong player.>

I just googled him and found he participated in a simultaneous exhibition connected to Buenos Aires (1970) (he did not play in the tournament).

I am trying to find his date of death, if he did die.

  beatgiant: <Fusilli> I tried a quick search on ancestry.com. I found no info on his possible death, but did find a few new details about him from travel arrival/departure records.

A record for his 1957 visit to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (probably when he attended the Zonal) gives his place of birth (Buenos Aires), parents (Miguel Esposito and Angela Amelia Benvenuto), marital status (married), occupation (merchant) and street address (Deán Funes 132 Bernal, Buenos Aires). The date of birth matches what we already have.

There are also entries for a flight from Lima to Honolulu en route to New York (Aug. 4 1959), a flight from Rio to New York (Aug. 28 1960), a flight from Paris to New York (Oct. 12 1960), and a flight from Buenos Aires to Miami en route to Washington, D.C. (Nov. 7 1961). Those records also match what we already know about him and give a few other details too (visa, airline, hotel etc.).

  beatgiant: Oh and forgot to add, these records show his full name as Alfredo Humberto Esposito.

  beatgiant: His profile on chessmetrics lists three events he played in post-1961: Buenos Aires YMCA 1963 (won by Raul C Cruz), Club Argentino Buenos Aires 1963 and Punta del Este 1964 (the latter two won by Raul Sanguineti).

  Stonehenge: This guy?

https://www.dateas.com/es/obituario...

Aug-31-24  vonKrolock: <Stonehenge> You mean this !? (quite plausible...)

< "Alfredo Humberto Esposito, q.e.p.d., died on 3-6-2003. - His wife Mary Louise; his children Alfredo Luis and Laura Croas, Horace Humberto and Hope Lavallen, Maria Cristina and Diego Meli; his grandchildren Maria Milagros, Alfredo Ignacio, Maria Magdalena, Ludovica, Ornella, Maria Clara, Maximus, Juan Cruz, Maria Sol, Bethlehem and his brother-in-law Hector Abel Rodriguez attend his funeral and pray a prayer in his memory." >

  beatgiant: <vonKrolock> Agreed, matching full name and marital status and plausible length of life (78 years).

As small clarifications, the date of death in this source is June 3, not March 6 (as US readers would interpret 3-6). And q.e.p.d. stands for "que en paz descanse" (may he rest in peace).

Aug-31-24  vonKrolock: <beatgiant> I see ... That was a Google translation. By the way, a little errata: <Esperanza> and <Belén> are correct

<" Sepelios Y ParticipacionesPublicado el 04/06/2003 Alfredo Humberto Esposito, q.e.p.d., falleció el 3-6-2003. - Su esposa María Luisa; sus hijos Alfredo Luis y Laura Croas, Horacio Humberto y Esperanza Lavallen, María Cristina y Diego Meli; sus nietos María Milagros, Alfredo Ignacio, María Magdalena, Ludovica, Ornella, María Clara, Máximo, Juan Cruz, María Sol, Belén y su cuñado Héctor Abel Rodríguez participan su fallecimiento y ruegan una oración en su memoria.">

* not least: Kudos to <Stonehenge> !!

  perfidious: I would assume 4-6-2003 to be the next day in this context, not the next month; then again, I am not 'most Americans'.
