Born in Madrid, Corzo emigrated to Cuba in 1887. He studied under Pichardo and became Champion of the Havana Chess Club. He is best know for losing to Capablanca (4-3, 6 draws) in 1901 during that great player's meteoric rise, when Capablanca was only 13, but Corzo was a force in Cuban chess in his own right. With Capablanca, he founded the National Chess Federation of Cuba, and was a longtime editor of Capablanca's Chess Magazine.
