In response to George Duke's comments on the World Chess Championship:
I am responding here because apparently on members can respond on the
message board where George Duke's post appears, and I am not a member.
Najdorf was born in Poland and resettled in Argentina, so I would not
exactly say he was 'from Argentina.' As far as him being the 'other
leading western hemisphere grandmaster since Capablanca', even if he if
was from the western hemisphere, it would not be correct. Sammy Reshevsky
(born in Poland, resettled in USA in early childhood) and Reuben Fine (born
in the USA) both had careers equal to or greater than Najdorf's, although
Fine's was admittedly shortened when he left chess to become a full-time
psychologist.
