-
0:04 - 0:05Do you remember?
-
0:05 - 0:07
-
0:07 - 0:10Arturo Pomar,the famous chess player and child prodigy
-
0:10 - 0:13that amazed the Spain of 1946.
-
0:13 - 0:17The child who gets off the plane victorious was the Spain`s adult chess champion
-
0:17 - 0:20at the age of fourteen.
-
0:20 - 0:22
-
0:22 - 0:25His extraordinary talent for chess made him soon become the idol child of post-war
-
0:25 - 0:33
-
0:33 - 0:37Franco´s Regime made Pomar one of the symbols of the new Spain.
-
0:37 - 0:40So Arturo dovoted all of his time to the tournament play and chess exibitions.
-
0:40 - 0:47
-
0:47 - 0:49Here you were a bit older.
-
0:49 - 0:53This is in Argentina.
-
0:53 - 0:58Nowdays,along with his son,Arturo pomar takes a look at
-
0:58 - 1:02the memories of a life devoted to chess.
-
1:02 - 1:05But the regime deserted him in the crucial moment of his chess career
-
1:05 - 1:07when he tried to classify for the Chess World Championship.
-
1:07 - 1:09He had to play all by himself with the help of no trainer or second.
-
1:09 - 1:12Even though,he managed to draw with the North American master Robert Fischer.
-
1:12 - 1:13
-
1:13 - 1:16How long did the game with Fischer last?
-
1:16 - 1:18
-
1:18 - 1:19About nine hours.
-
1:19 - 1:22I analized very well and I knew I would draw.
-
1:22 - 1:24Do you think that chess is a sport?
-
1:24 - 1:26
-
1:26 - 1:29yes , it is but I think it is also a science too.
-
1:29 - 1:31Fischer came by Spain just before disputing an historic
-
1:31 - 1:34chess match during cold-war times
-
1:34 - 1:36
-
1:36 - 1:38His victory over the Russian Spassky in 1972 was
-
1:38 - 1:41was seen by some as the triumph of Capitalism over Comunism.
-
1:41 - 1:44
-
1:44 - 1:47With the fall of Berlin`s Wall,the old and new Russia also
-
1:47 - 1:49confronted their differences over a chess board.
-
1:49 - 1:53
-
1:53 - 1:55I have arguments to claim that this is the greatest
-
1:55 - 1:56
-
1:56 - 2:00chess rivalry among all sports, but of course, into an unrepeatable political scenery.
-
2:00 - 2:03Karpov was the symbol of Kremling´s old guard,
-
2:03 - 2:05and Kasparov was the symbol of the "Perestroika" right
-
2:05 - 2:08when Former Soviet Union was falling all apart.
-
2:08 - 2:11
-
2:11 - 2:12That´s not going to repeat anymore.
-
2:12 - 2:13
-
2:13 - 2:15Apart from Politic issues,Chess is today a very healthy
-
2:15 - 2:17sport in Spain.
-
2:17 - 2:19
-
2:19 - 2:22You have to evaluate every piece exchange and also
-
2:22 - 2:24their pros and cons.
-
2:24 - 2:25
-
2:25 - 2:28Sabrina Vega and Ivan salgado are young International Masters.
-
2:28 - 2:30
-
2:30 - 2:32The Arturos Pomar of the moment.
-
2:32 - 2:37They both look upon chess not only as a game,but also as
-
2:37 - 2:40a way toward personal learning
-
2:40 - 2:44Self discipline,sacrifice, respect for your opponent and for everyone else.
-
2:44 - 2:46
-
2:46 - 2:48The hability to concentrate you need in a chess game
-
2:48 - 2:52is also useful for schollard education.
-
2:52 - 2:54Now we olnly hope that anyone of them becomes
-
2:54 - 3:00the Fernando Alonso or the "Rafa" Nadal of chess so that they can raise the same expectations Arturito did in the Spain of the 40`s
