He has won 16 national titles, 5 South American titles and has represented his country in 4 world championships.
In December 1992, after a period of absence from the green tables due to an annoying illness, he participated in a tight competition with invitations to which the best twelve South American couples had been invited and after having won by a hair, he went to sleep all satisfied and did not wake up anymore. Really a sweet departure for a passionate bridge player.
