10th December 1950. Argentinian grandmaster Miguel Najdorf & his wife Adela are pictured at the closing banquet for the great international tournament at Amsterdam, where he took clear 1st place, scoring 15/19.

Post-morten analysis to the final-round game Najdorf v. Van Scheltinga (Amsterdam, 1950). A 17-move draw was enough to ensure the Argentinian grandmaster clear 1st place, ahead of Reshevsky, Ståhlberg, etc.
