Feb-29-04    ConLaMismaMano: GM Carlos Matamoros Franco is the strongest player of Ecuador, i would like to know where he is playing and some of his best games. Nov-28-05    madserg: Matamoros lives at Spain. I saw recently the games at Fide Cup. The first game was drawish, but he lost. In the second one he always was in worse position. Mar-18-06    offramp: His surname is derived from the time he tried to say "The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka" with a pool ball in his mouth.
