In a mixture of computational problems, such as migrating databases already far exceeded the capacity of my computer equipment, and that increasing material I brought some competitors Continental Championships held in Toluca, State of Mexico; forced me to be out of touch on the internet almost completely, so that the various services will resume until the April 28, but I may gradually move from today April 26.
On the other hand, I devote a little more to the event of Toluca and see with pleasure that 14 students of my courses email occupied one of the top five in various categories, including the principal. Normally respect confidentiality for those who take classes or rather are co-learners with me but would be very motivating for many to know that many players who have passed the age of what is normally considered the stage where the more you learn, have achieved remarkable progress . Then I hereby request such students who achieved success at the event, authorized me to publish the list. I do not want to apply person to person, so do not feel pressured, but only if they agree to let me know. I exclude the children, as most part in the National Olympics and sometimes know who is the coach of a player provides information to its competitors on codes, methodologies, etc., And there is no point giving the minimum information to competitors only for promotion of courses. So my request is primarily to those already exceeded 30 years of age.
In the event I had the opportunity to personally meet many of my students via email. Some do not easily I recognized on the basis of photos circulating on the Internet, especially in the event's official site mine never appeared during the event, the webmaster Santiago Garcia is possible that this upset that claim a cash prize of a tournament that Cholula organized and has not paid me for years, especially now that I found out it was me in that tournament finalist, Juan Carlos Gonzalez GM, if it took the prize for the same amount as mine, but anyway ...
Case it gave me great pleasure to know personally many with whom I have been coaprendiendo. For another trip to a tournament in Mexico, where I have almost half of my students, in this blog I will post an updated photo to I recognize more easily. At least I said something most motivating: "He looks older in the photo blog" The fact is that my 58 years, I have no pretensions to look younger, and this 2011 we will celebrate several friends that we won in 1971, 40 years ago, the only international chess tournament that a team in the history of Mexico won the Series IX Central American and Caribbean region, in Guatemala City. Sure, some small team tournaments, against three to five countries, or certain categories, such as university, or juvenile, have been won, but the only official event FIDE maximum category that Mexico was won by teams that. In this event was attended by many players who have already died and were referred at the time. Among the more recently deceased are William Hook, a participant in multiple Olympics over those 40 years, even as early as 1968 he played in these events. Thanks to William Hook, Chess Life magazine in the United States could have great photos of the Olympics just chess. Hook won a gold medal on top board in the Olympics.
