It started in San Sebastian in 1970 and has been the Spanish leading chess magazine since.
Man to Men (French:D'homme à hommes is a 1948 French-Swiss historical drama film directed by Christian-Jaque and starring Jean-Louis Barrault, Bernard Blier and Hélène Perdrière.
The Jaque Mate persona was inspired by the 1920s and 1930s Chicago Gangster scene, complete with black suit and fedora hat, in addition to a black mask with white chess pieces on it.
After having accompanied Giuseppe Rotunno as an additional cinematographer in The Great War (1959), in the early sixties he worked in art films such as Damiano Damiani's Arturo's Island and The Empty Canvas, but also to international co-productions such as Madame Sans-Gene by Christian-Jaque and The Condemned of Altona by Vittorio De Sica.
After his retirement he wrote for literary publications such as Vuelta (Buenos Aires), Jaque and Alternativa (Montevideo) and the Revista Iberoamericana de Literatura (Detroit).
The original film had Robert Ryan linking four different spy stories, each helmed by a different director; original James Bond director Terence Young for the English sequences, Christian-Jaque for the French, Carlo Lizzani for the Italian and Werner Klingler for the German sequences, but the German sequences were cut for the American release.
