Jorge Vega Fernandez (1935-2023)
The chess world mourns the death of Jorge Vega. The long-time President of the American Continental Chess Federation was a comrade-in-arms of Che Guevara in the Cuban Revolution, though he was later imprisoned in Cuba because of his international contacts. Vega then lived in Mexico and was president of the Confederacion de Adjedres para America (CCA) from 20202. | Photo: Anastasia Karlovich
