From Sevilla (Spain), born in fifties. Chemical analyst, working in a official Drinking Water Quality Control laboratory.

Eye-witness in some games of Kasparov-Karpov WCC Sevilla 1987. Being a pre-teenager, I also watched a couple of games of Petrosian-Huebner, Candidates 1971.

Active player in 80s, not anymore. It was too much for my nervous system.

I'm very interested in chess history. Favourite player is an ideal mix Capablanca-Nimzovich-Smyslov. Two logical and clear minds and, in the middle, some drops of Nimzo eccentricity.

Current Favorite Poem:

Lo más hermoso, aquello
que no puede comprarse,
que vale, frente a un copo de tu espuma,
si se sabe mirar,
frente a una pluma de tormenta, rota
sobre tu orilla, frente
a tus platas y azules,
metales y cristales,
si se los sabe oler, gustar, tocar, oír...

Qué vale nada lo que tú. Rebosa
la eternidad tu vaso,
llueve su vino sobre nuestra carne.
Una concha roída
por los gusanos de tu mar, un poco,
de cal, y bruma, y nácar,
pude hacernos llorar,
ensancha las fronteras
del alma, desmorona
los muros negros de la realidad.
Qué vale nada, todo,
lo que tú, playa mía,
lirio de arena, selva
de círculos de oro,
túnica ardiente, pálida campana,
palacio sumergido,
inolvidable...

José Hierro (1922-2002)

SYMPATHY FOR THE FOOTBALL

Jul-18-12  NakoSonorense: It looks like PSG are having a busy transfer season, uh?
Jul-19-12  SirChrislov: Hey muchachos, long time no see!

Hello <Nako>, <falso contacto>, <meloncio>, congrats to La Roja! <God bless the Air Conditioning inventor.> Amen. Hot as hell out here in Los Angeles too. just the other day I saw a homeless person sitting on a block of ice! but I don't mind the heat, it's cook-out season!

Tudalu!

  technical draw: <<Ich bin ein Berliner!> Lasst sie nach Berlin kommen!>

Sabes que Ich bin ein Berliner no es enteramente correcto? Es como decir "Yo soy un Madrileño" versus "Yo soy Madrileño" o simplemente "Soy Madrileño". Mejor seria "Ich bin Berliner".

Y que vengan a Berlin a disputarme.

  technical draw: Hablando de comida y Madrid, recién llegado a Madrid, caminaba por una de las plazas mayores y vi algo que no esperaba ver: un Burger King! Fui a investigar y encontre dos cosas raras. Primero, servían vino y cerveza, algo que no se ve en Estados Unidos, y segundo, los clientes comían las hamburguesas con cuchillo y tenedor!

Pedí un Whopper y comencé a comérmelo con las manos ante la mirada atónita de los demás clientes. De verdad que algunos estaban escandalizados. Creo que me dijeron que era de pueblo. Habrá cambiado algo en 35 años?

Jul-22-12  NakoSonorense: Yo estoy mas sorprendido que ya habia Burger King hace 35 años.

  meloncio: <td> Ya comemos hamburguesas con las manos pero siguen vendiendo vino y cerveza, por supuesto, aunque sólo a los mayores de 18 años. Somos liberales pero no tanto.

Hace poco conocí en Sevilla a un americano de Boston y le hizo fotos a la tabla de bebidas para enviarla a sus amigos de allá. "Ellos no podrán creer que B.King y McDonald's venden cerveza", decía.

<harrylime><The football season is beckoning> At last! Football-out season is unbearable, though Olympics are here to relieve us a little bit...

By the way congratulations for Bradley Wiggins win on Tour de France, a British for the first time in 99 years. And about time too! :D

  chancho: En el futuro debo de leer todos los comentarios antes de comentar.

Me perdi lo que <TD> relato sobre su viaje en España.

A mi me paso algo similar, pero mientras estaba en West Germany.

(En la decada de los 70's)

Yo y un amigo con dos chicas ordenamos una pizza en un restaurante y cuando el mesero nos trajo la pizza, yo agarre un trozo con mis manos.

Al mismo instante note que los Alemanes estaban usando tenedor y cuchillo.

Yo pense que se joda y empeze a comermelo.

Ellos me miraron como si fuera de otro planeta.

  chancho: <Jim> Gracias por ese link.

Me rei, y mucho.

Jul-23-12  MarkFinan: Hey Humphrey... Forget Wiggins, we want our football back lol..

I watched Brazil v GB pre Olympic friendly the other day, and It was really embarassing!

I know the other nations, especially South American teams, take the Olympics more seriously, but "The Brits" really got played off the park! (I'm English btw ;) )..

They had Oscar, Neymar, and Tiago Silva on display..
"We" had........ Dean Sturridge!!!!

Anyway, who cares about the Olympics football wise, lol !

And yes.. Looks like PSG really mean business, maybe looking at CL winners within the next 3 years??

I just want someone, anyone, to put In a serious bid for Messi.. You gotta be talking £250 million for his signature, and say a £50 million signing on fee, and £500,000 a week tax free pay packet ! Well surely he can't stay at Barca forever, Maradona, Cruyff, Stoickavic, Hagi, and even Steve Archibald all moved on eventually.... ;) lol I hope to god he comes to England before he's 27, It would be Impossible to get a ticket to any match for the club he signed for though, unless you had a ST for that club In the first place...

I think Madrid will win the title this year though...

  meloncio: IMO best things at OG Opening Ceremony last night: Mr. Bean and ... Maria Sharapova! :)

<harrylime> Our dear Macca is getting old and losing his voice, but he's still great.

  harrylime: I can't stand Mr Bean.

So I take it you were not impressed.?

Premium Chessgames Member
  meloncio: I only watched a part of it, but around here all the newspapers are writing that the ceremony was grand and beatiful, the whole histoy of Great Britain. I'm a bit old and you know, I have seen many Opening Ceremonies, so that does not have much interest to me. In Olympic Games I like athletics very much, but not much the other sports.

<I can't stand Mr Bean> He's very popular in Spain due to his old TV show. I think it's because his speechless humor using cheats can easily reach the Latin spirit. For instance,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBnE...

Moreover, our former premier R. Zapatero was sometimes nicknamed Mr Bean for his political enemies, it was a running joke in Spain,

http://www.google.es/imgres?hl=es&s...

I still remember The Benny Hill Show, also popular here in 80s. I know it was a bit boorish and "machista" but even so I enjoyed it.

  harrylime: It captured an essence. It was'nt exactly an entire history . But the music was uber cool and Becks thundering thru Tower Bridge on a speedboat with the Olympic torch was something to behold lol

It was the most surreal opening ceremony I've seen in my lifetime to be sure ! lol

Mr Bean is well down in the comedic pantheon here.

Aug-07-12  NakoSonorense: Both the USA and Mexico going for gold in London! Exciting!

  WannaBe: Is this Olympics Men's Soccer a preview for the Next World Cup in Brazil and Olympics in Brazil?

The Women's team have no age limit, but the Men's do, and if the team continue to grow and mature, it can be very interesting.
