Throwback Thursday: Miguel Najdorf at the Zurich Candidates

Now that Argentina has <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhEWqfP6V_w">won the FIFA World Cup</a> in memorable fashion, it is a great time to reminisce on the legacy of Miguel Najdorf. ‘Don Miguel’ was born in Warsaw, but was among the many European players who found themselves in Buenos Aires when the Second World War broke out in 1939. Najdorf stayed in Argentina and spent most of his life in the South American country. Najdorf was one of the fifteen players who participated in the legendary 1953 Candidates Tournament in Zurich.
