This was a great article from the Chess Drum. GM Hernandez Onna passed away in February and certainly deserves to be remembered.
But he deserves his own thread. He doesn’t really fit in this thread even tho Daaim Shabazz, the author of the obituary, is an African American. GM Hernandez Onna was Cuban.

He was pointing out that Hernandez was Afro-Cuban like Ortega. He earned his GM title in 1978, the first GM of African ancestry.
