Uruguayan immortals

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Uruguayan Immortal (Engl. Uruguayan Immortal ) is a spectacular game of chess . It was played at the Uruguayan Championship in Montevideo in 1943 between B. Molinari and Luis Roux Cabral , who was Uruguayan champion in 1948 and 1970. The lot is famous for the brilliant combination of Cabral.

After his 33rd move, Cabral had two rooks less and three of his pieces were threatened, but Molinari could no longer prevent mate.

Fred Reinfeld commented on the game in The Chess Correspondent magazine . His final note was: "A game destined for immortality."
