In the Uruguay Championship of 1943, Roux Cabral defeated Molinari with a brilliant sacrificial attack; the combination is known as "The Uruguayan Immortal".[4] Fred Reinfeld annotated the game on pages 11–12 of the Chess Correspondent, May–June 1944. His final remark was: "A game destined for immortality."[5]
