The following miniature was served up by Tunsian GM Slim Bouaziz (born April 26, 1950) at the1970 Chess Olympiad in Siegen, at the time in West Germany.
According to a discussion on one web site when his name is translated his first name is probably “Salim” or “Saleem”.
He was awarded the IM title in 1975 and the GM title in 1993. He is also a FIDE Senior Trainer and an International Organizer.
He was Arab champion in 1986 and 1991. From 1966 to 2006, Bouaziz was on the Tunisian team at the Chess Olympiad 16 times.
He participated in five Interzonals. He finished last Sousse Interzonal in 1967, his single win coming against GM Robert Byrne.
At the Riga Interzonal in 1979, he tied with then IM Edmar Mednis for 14th (out of 18), but he held the winner, Mihail Tal to a draw. He also held 3rd place finisher, GM Andras Adorjan, to a draw.
At the Las Palmas Interzonal in 1982, he tied for 11th-13th (out of 14) with then IM Jaime Sunye Neto and then IMLars Karlsson.
He withdrew from the 1985 Tunis Interzonal after six rounds, having scored only a single draw. In the 1999 World Championship Knockout Tournament he lost in the first round to Vasilios Kotronias.
Bouaziz was one of the leading African players, winning the Arab Chess Championships in 1986 and 1991.
His opponent in the following game was Orestes Rodriguez Vargas (born July 4, 1943) a Peruvian GM (1978). He has won the Peruvian championship five times.
