Sep-12-04    meloncio: Last month Illescas won the Spanish Chess Championship celebrated in Sevilla, my hometown. Congratulations Miguel! http://www.campeonatoajedrez.com/ (in spanish) Sep-29-04    shr0pshire: Illescas is one of the three listed chess coaches for Kramnik for the 2004 world championships. Impressive that Kramnik chose him and two other russians. Very interesting!
