Eugenio Torre
Eugenio Torre (born November 4, 1951) is a Filipino chess player. In 1974, at 22 years old, he became
Eugenio Torre
the first Asian to qualify for the title Grandmaster by winning the silver medal in the Chess Olympiad held
in Nice, France. He is considered the strongest chess player the Philippines produced during the 1980s
and 1990s, and has been playing for the Philippines on board 1 in eighteen Chess Olympiads.

In a tournament in Manila in 1976, Torre was then the only one to beat the then-reigning World
Champion Anatoly Karpov in a game that has become part of Filipino chess history. In 1982 he gained a
spot in the World Chess Championship candidates matches, where he lost to Zoltan Ribli. He served as
Bobby Fischer's second in the 1992 match against Boris Spassky in Yugoslavia.

1976–1984
Torre shot to prominence in 1976 as a possible future title challenger after winning a strong four-man
tournament in Manila ahead of World Champion Anatoly Karpov – thus becoming the first player to finish
ahead of Karpov in a tournament since the latter became world champion. In the summer of 1976, three
grandmasters traveled to Manila, Philippines to participate in the Marlboro-Loyola Kings Challenge chess
tournament. They were (in order by Elo): World Champion Anatoly Karpov (2695) from the Soviet Union,
Ljubomir Ljubojević (2620) from Yugoslavia, and Walter Browne (2585) from the United States. They
were joined by grandmaster Eugenio Torre (2505) from the Philippines for a double-round robin event.
The average rating of the players qualified the tournament as a category XV event.

The result was surprising and momentous due to the inspired play of Torre. Not only did he defeat the
world champion in the second round, but he went on to finish clear first ahead of Karpov, a feat no one
had yet accomplished since the latter had become world champion. His success in the tournament earned
Torre a place in history. The final standings and crosstable are as follows:

Manila 1976
1 2 3 4 Total
1 Torre – 1½ ½1 1½ 4½ Torre in 1982
2 Karpov 0½ – 1½ ½½ 3
3 Ljubojević ½0 0½ – ½1 2½
4 Browne 0½ ½½ ½0 – 2

The high point of his career came in the early 1980s when he was ranked world No.17; successfully going on to qualify as a candidate for the
world championship after tying for first with Lajos Portisch during the 1982 Toluca Interzonal.

Torre has the distinction of being the first Asian player to earn the title of International Grandmaster.[1] He qualified for the Candidates
Matches for the 1984 World Championship. In that preliminary stage, the contenders play matches against each other to determine who will
challenge the world champion. Torre was eliminated when he lost his match against Zoltán Ribli by a score of 6–4.

After losing his quarterfinal candidates match to Ribli in 1983, Torre became disillusioned with chess and more or less went into semi-
retirement. He went on to become a minor celebrity due to his daily one-hour TV programme Chess Today.

In 1984, Torre was selected to play in the second USSR vs. the Rest of the World competition held in London, England. The USSR team was
led by the world's two (2) highest ranked players at that time, Garry Kasparov (2710 Elo) and Karpov (2700 Elo) while the Rest of the World
was led by Viktor Korchnoi and Ljubomir Ljubojević both with 2635 Elo rating. Torre had an Elo rating of 2565 for this tournament where he
contributed 2 points in 3 games, all against Andrei Sokolov, winning 2 and losing once.[2]

He also has taken part in six Asian Chess Team Championships (1977, 1979, 1981, 1983, 1986, 1993). Torre has an outstanding record at this
tournament where he won the gold medal 4 times: for his score in the 1977 (Auckland, New Zealand), 1979 (Singapore), 1981 (Hangzhou,

In the 1993 edition, he bounced back by going undefeated once again scoring 6½ points in 9 games, winning 4 and drawing 5 for a winning
percentage of 72.2% and a TPR of 2584 (2540 Elo). This bronze medal capped Torre's magnificent record in the history of the Asian Chess
Team Championships.

Asian Cities Chess Championships

In 2002 and 2004, Torre also manned the top board for Team Philippines in the 13th and 14th editions of the Asian Cities Chess
Championships. The 13th edition was held at Aden, Yemen where Torre scored 5½ points in nine games on the strength of three wins, five
draws and one loss while Manila, Philippines hosted the 14th edition where he scored 5 points in eight games (four wins, two draws, and two
losses). He has scored a total of 10½ points in 17 games on 7 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses for a winning percentage of 61.8%.[12]

Team Philippines won the Gold Medal in the 2002 edition while they placed 3rd, good for the bronze medal, in the 2004 edition.

Asian Games
In the 16th Asian Games, Torre helped the Philippines finished second behind China, beating the Indian team in the semifinals to secure the
silver medal. He played 8 games as a reserve scoring 5½ points on the strength of 4 wins, 3 draws and a solitary loss for a winning percentage
of 68.8% and a TPR of 2470.

World Student Chess Team Championships

Torre also played Board 3 in the World Student Chess Team Championships in 1969 although he lost his one and only game in the said
tournament against William Roland Hartston.[13]

Later career
In 2006, Torre participated in the 2nd San Marino International Chess Open where he tied for fourth
through eleventh places with 6½ points in nine rounds where he eventually placed seventh after the tie-
breaks becoming the highest-placed Filipino in the tournament. He had a performance rating of 2612 and
won €1,000 for his seventh-place finish.[14]

In 2010, Torre competed in the 3rd Calgary International Chess Championships held at Alberta, Canada
where he flashed his vintage form by finishing in a tie for second through fourth places on the strength of
four wins, four draws and a solitary loss against GM Victor Mikhalevski, the tournament top seed with Elo
Torre in 2016
Rating of 2614. Torre had an Elo Rating of 2506 during the said tournament.[15]

In 2011, Torre joined two prestigious international chess championships in the Philippines, the Asian
Zone 3.3 Chess Championships and the 2nd Chairman Prospero A. Pichay, Jr. Cup International Open Chess Championships. He finished in a
tie for 15th–21st places in the Asian Zonals eventually placing 18th after tiebreaks (5 points out of nine games on four wins, three losses, and
two draws). It was a poor finish for Torre as he had a four-game winning streak from rounds 2 to 5 after an opening round loss to FM Haridas
Pascua to take the lead after five rounds but faltered in the last four rounds where he scored only 1 point (two draws and two losses). He had a
low performance rating of 2344 in this tournament.[16] In the 2nd Pichay Cup, he improved a little bit by scoring 6½ points in 10 games to
finish in a tie for 11th–18th places eventually finishing in 14th place (four wins, five draws, and one loss). This is another heartbreaker as he
was stalled by five draws despite losing only one game to Chinese Lu Shanglei. In this tournament he had a performance rating of 2496.[17]

In June 2014, Torre won the prestigious National Chess Championships – Battle of GMs held at the function room of the Philippine Sports
Commission in Vito Cruz, Manila. In so doing, Torre became the oldest Filipino chess player to win a national championships at the age of 62
by scoring 23 points under the Pichay–Torre system or 4½ points under the standard system. He won the title via tiebreak over fellow GM
John Paul Gomez. The tournament also served as the qualifying tournament for the 2014 Olympiad to be held in Tromso, Norway in August.
This is Torre's record 22nd appearance in the Olympiad.[18]

In 2016, Torre was part of the 2nd batch of inductees of the Philippine Sports Hall of Fame cited by the Philippine Sports Commission.[19] In
the 42nd Chess Olympiad held at Baku, Azerbaijan he scored an undefeated 10/11, with a performance rating of 2836,[20] thanks to which he
won the individual bronze medal on board three.[21]

In 2017, Torre was invited to the prestigious Reykjavik Open by virtue of his strong performance in the 2016 Olympiad.[22] He acquitted
himself well in this tournament (won by Anish Giri), scoring 7 out of 10 (7 wins 3 losses) and tying for 11th to 13th places eventually settling for
13th after the tiebreaks.[23] In October, Torre won the Asian Senior Chess Championship, held in Auckland, New Zealand, in the 65+ category,
scoring 9/9 points.[24] One year later, he retained the Asian senior champion title in the same category in Tagaytay.[25][26]

Friendship with Bobby Fischer

Torre was a friend of Bobby Fischer. He worked on Fischer's team in the 1992 rematch with Boris Spassky in Yugoslavia. Much later, Torre
conducted interviews with Fischer on Filipino radio dzRH MBC Sports Center. Those interviews gained notoriety for Fischer and despair for
his fans as he believed he would be killed in the United States after being deported from Japan. Torre was involved in 1996 when Fischer
Random Chess was launched.

Notable games
In a tournament in Manila in 1976, Torre beat then-reigning World Champion Anatoly Karpov in a game that has become part of Filipino
chess history:
