  amadeus: One should add to his biography that he became world champion under-14 in 1980. Plus the Continental Championship (2007) and the Iberoamerican (2008).
Nov-24-08   ruelas007: And that he has played as board 1 in many, many olymps. Well not so many but he's completely dominant among Peru players
