Apr-04-21    Z legend of CG: van Reek has a survey of play in Venezia, including a photograph of the playing hall for 1948: http://doccdn.simplesite.com/d/46/c... . Apr-04-21    keypusher: Tremendous performance by Najdorf, and a good showing by Canal, who would have been in his early 50s. Thanks to the nice link <Z> posted, I see that Canal won in 1953. Apr-04-21    Z legend of CG: There's a tournament book: https://www.abebooks.com/first-edit... http://www.chesslund.com/detail.asp... Feb-02-23    keypusher: Incidentally, poor Gedeon Barcza finished second and only games of his with kibitzes are the two losses. But check out, e.g. Barcza vs V Castaldi, 1948.
