El niño Arturito
- Federico Marín, Muere a los 84 años Arturo Pomar, el niño prodigio del ajedrez español, ABC.es, May 26, 2016
Arturo Pomar Salamanca, born on September 1, 1931, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, is dead today at 84 years old in a Barcelona’s hospital. A chess prodigy, he drew a game with his mentor Alexander Aleksandrovich Alekhine at the age of 13, becoming the youngest player ever to draw with a reigning World Chess Champion at a normal time control, a record which still stands.
