Jesús Díez del Corral (1933–2010) was a prominent Spanish chess player who achieved the title of International Master in 1957 and Grandmaster in 1974. Early in his career, he won the Spanish Chess Championship in 1955 then went on to win it again in 1968. Corral stood out in international competitions, including representing Spain in nine Chess Olympiads from 1958 to 1978 and achieving the third best individual result in 1968.
Corral also participated in the World Chess Championship cycle multiple times. He played in two Interzonal Tournaments in 1962 and 1967, and five times in the European Zonal Tournament (serving as the qualifier for the Interzonal), earning a medal each time. However, he never made it to the Candidates Tournament stage.
Away from competitions, Corral worked as a chess writer and editor for a Spanish magazine. After retiring from playing active chess, Corral focused on a career in law, serving as a civil servant in the Ministry of Justice in Spain. He passed away on March 2, 2010 from natural causes. Many within the chess community fondly remember him for his significant contributions to the game.
