The Game Of WW2

Oh yeah… WW2….

Instead of thinking about the actual war… Let’s think about chess! In the Uruguay Championship of 1943, Roux Cabral defeated Molinari with a brilliant sacrificial attack; the combination is known as "The Uruguayan Immortal". Fred Reinfeld annotated the game on pages 11–12 of the Chess Correspondent, May–June 1944. His final remark was: "A game destined for immortality."

Now…

Let’s look at the game!
