Las Mil y Una Partidas (1001 Chess Games) Chess Heritage 1900-1999. These are all the 20th Century games found in the second half of the massive 'Las Mil y Una Partidas' (1001 Chess Games) Boris de Greiff, 2006. Game Collection: Mil y Una Partidas 1914-1931 101 games, 1900-1914 Mexico City 1932 October, 1932. The first International Tournament celebrated in Mexico. With the Great Depression at its height, it was a year of few major competitions. This is one of the least remembered tournaments of the 20th century and a "forgettable" event for the Mexicans, who failed to win a game against the two foreign stars. Organized by Cap. Araiza Munoz, a military man and 3rd place finisher, he would have loved to include the participation of Mexico's premier player, Carlos Torre, but that man had been retired due to a mental illness. However, the event left a deep imprint in the enthusiasts of that time and did much for the interest of the game in that country. This led to the organization of a second tournament held in 1934/35 won by Reuben Fine. It is a pity that only a handful of games from that event have survived. Round-robin, 9 rounds. Won by World Champion A. Alekhine (8.5/9) and I. Kashdan (8.5/9), their individual encounter in round 6 was drawn* Final Standings I. Kashdan (USA) 8.5 A. Alekhine (USSR) 8.5 Capt.
