Chess lover since I was 14. Got a board and few classes from a friend of mine and that led me to won competitions in high school and in the university, few years later. Highest achievement was to play in the national championship for teams, where I met the big names of that time in the country.
Chess is a passion, is an expression of art and a lovely tool to make new friends. In the internet age, friends can come from every corner in the world!
Long live the chess players and their friendship!
