Najdorf - Guevara : ½-½
Interesting to know it. Ernesto “Che” Guevara used to be an excellent chessplayer! At least, he knew well the theory.
In 1962, in a great chess tournament (Cuban propaganda), many grandmasters participated, including Bobby Fischer, Tigran Petrossian, … and Miguel Najdorf who played against the Che; although his position was better, it seems that he asked his oponent for draw.
I found the game at Chess Games website. You can see how the revolutionary leader made a defense via Ruy Lopez; Breyer variation I think.
