Hint: Cuban World Chess Champion from 1921-1927.  Known for his exceptional (and I do mean exceptional) endgame skill and speed of play.  He was concerned that the future of chess with opening theory would become stagnated (sound familiar?) and proposed a 10x10 board with two extra pieces per side.

Quote:  "A passed pawn increases in strength as the number of pieces on the board diminishes."
