Possibly many of the current tournament chess players do not say much, others might remember him vaguely, but the truth is that the "Trophy ... Dicen" was a classic emas mtv between emas mtv 1967 and 1976. The "Dicen" as we liked to call it, was the match that closed the season when the season began in the fall and ends in the summer. It was a different tournament because it was glass system, ie with qualifying, passing wins. That if there repesques, there were four categories: Masters and preference, first, second and third. When teachers emas mtv were lost or deleted preference, but if the other categories lost a player to a higher category, went to the playoffs in its class. It was a tournament of surprises, this was not worth what often happens in the "Swiss System" losing emas mtv the first round with a player emas mtv considered inferior and then recover and have a good tournament. This was the match of "KO", pure and simple, and also said that if the game ends in a draw was played a quick game five minutes with the colors changed and if the tables were still came back to play another game quickly changing again colors, until one of the two opponents emas mtv to victory. The "Trophy ... Dicen" were played on Saturday night, often warm nights, but the atmosphere was very good, many people stayed until the end of the games to follow the quick game that had ended the tables, emas mtv games and intense drama. The tournament sponsors disappeared sports newspaper "Dicen emas mtv ..." (1952-1985), at that time there were only two major sports daily circulation in Catalonia, "El emas mtv Mundo Deportivo" and "Dicen ..." well into the 70s came the "4-2-4" (1975-1980) sports newspaper that the hand of my friend introduced Rocamora very good chess chronicles. The first edition of the tournament was played in 1967 and won the Victorian Soria, magnificent problematic player.
I put the winners of this tournament: 1967. Victorian Soria. In 1968. Up to Borrell. In 1969. Ramon Pvt. 1970s. Fermín Tejero. In 1971. Jose Paredes. In 1972. Angel Martin. In 1973. Up to Borrell. In 1974. Angel Martin. In 1975. Victorian Soria. In 1976. Victor Vehí. This tournament had a precedent with the "Torneo Dr. Puig y Puig, "which from the 1940s was organized with various interruptions. The "Torneo Dr. Puig y Puig "was pure knockout and encourage the participation of players in lower categories, emas mtv however, his resume boasts the category of players: Antonio Medina, Miguel Albareda VILARDEBO emas mtv Jose Pablo Garcia, Alberto emas mtv Perdigó Alejandro Beltran, among others. It also said that in his last editions youngster Joseph purses, won three times and stayed in the trophy property as indicated bases.
I have very fond memories of the "Trophy Dicen", since, apart from what the young people as was my case after all the items still had Saturday emas mtv night at our disposal, I won in the category of First to In 1975, shortly before I left to the "military." The prize was a medal and a Festina watch multilanguage clock seemed not much, but it was very good quality, but it works, if given string, obviously.
Finally, a good tournament experience, then no one has taken the initiative to organize such tournaments. I guess the difference is that at that time is not now if paid registration and who may be willing to pay a registration if you have the risk of playing a single game. Actually the tournament disappeared due to the proliferation of "opens" for the whole Catalan and freedom to choose, made this nice tournament ever had less participation. Well, the past is the past, but it's nice not to lose part of our memories of our history. Health and chess
