Happy #InternationalChessDay! My friend Ervin Sindik reconstructed all my games from the 1992 blitz tournament in Mar del Plata, Argentina, most never published before. Here is one, vs GM Zarnicki. chesspastebin.com/view/22507
He reconstructed them from video, and here is a version of it with my interview. Long ago! Look at all that hair!
I won the first ten games against the best players and felt invincible going into the final round against an amateur. And you've heard about pride and falls! But that loss to De las Heras was of course preserved and published so I won't recount it here..
In the spirit of the day, and since many of us have a lot of time in isolation, it's a great time to teach someone to play chess! It would also honor the recent passing of the man who taught me, my uncle, Konstantin Gregorian. #InternationalChessDay
