Some Games by Gildardo Garcia
Brilliant Miniatures!
Grandmaster Gildardo Garcia was capable of taking down any grandmaster in the world on any given day. Fearless, Gildardo had a versatile style of play. He was as at ease in wild, tactical skirmishes as he was comfortable in long positional struggles. Like the great Viktor Korchnoi, Gildardo was a thinker and was just as often in time trouble!
Gildardo’s opening repetoire was carefully worked out and very reliable. With White he almost always preferred 1.e4, while with Black he preferred solid classical choices such as the Spanish and the Queen’s Gambit Declined.
More than many grandmasters, Gildardo had a well deserved reputation for winning many games in less than 25 moves. Miniatures. Today I present a number of these impressive victories. Enjoy!
