| Nov-03-03 | | AdrianP: Antonio Medina-Garcia died very recently. He had played all the greats including every world champion between Alekhine and Fischer (inclusive). He apparently had wins over Alekhine, Euwe and Fischer. Here's the Alekhine one... Medina-Garcia vs Alekhine, 1945 |
|
| Nov-03-03 | | drukenknight: I dont think he had a win over Fischer, going from memory. |

He apparently had wins over Alekhine, Euwe and Fischer. ***> <drukenknight: I dont think he had a win over Fischer, going from memory. > The book "How to Beat Bobby Fischer" by Edmar J Mednis (Dover Publications, Inc., 1998), which purports to include all of Fischer's lost games from serious tournament and match competition during the period 1958-1972, does not have any game between Fischer and Medina-Garcia, so <drukenknight>'s memory appears to be correct. |

| | Peligroso Patzer: With regard to the question of whether Medina-Garcia ever defeated Fischer, the following appears on this page: A Medina-Garcia vs Alekhine, 1945 "Lawrence: *** Googling around, it turns out that Antonio Medina also won the U.S. open once and beat Fischer several times playing fast games." |

 | | Benzol: He apparently won the US Open title in 1963 ahead of both Benko and Lombardy. He won his last four games. One of these was against Arthur Bisguier and relegated Bisguier into a tie for fourth and fifth places. I have uploaded it so I hope it will appear soon. |

 | | WannaBe: Never awarded GM title? Or is the bio in need of updating? |
|

 | | perfidious: <WannaBe> Haven't seen any indication Medina ever received the GM title. Am working on the page mentioned by <Caissanist>; hope to get some of the games noted by him where they belong, soon. |
|

| | perfidious: One further note: the games attributed to Medina from Mexico City 1932 are not at all likely to be his, as this player would have been thirteen that year. At 365chess, the player is listed as J Garcia. |
