Arturo Bonet
Arturo Bonet Polledo was a Spanish chess master.
Bonet lived in Asturias, an autonomous community within the kingdom of Spain. In 1936, he participated in the Barcelona la Olimpiada Obrera, as a replication of the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, organised by Nazis.[1]
He tied for 6-7th place at Gijón in 1944 (in the 1st International Tournament, Alexander Alekhine won);[2][3] took 7th place at Gijón in 1945 (2nd place was won by Antonio Rico), but won an individual game against Alekhine.[4][2] Bonet had already beat Alekhine in a simultaneous game at Madrid in 1923.[5] He took 12th place at Gijón in 1949 (Nicolas Rossolimo won 6th place)[6][7] and twice took 3rd place in Asturias championships in 1952 and 1955.[8]
