Feb-24-06		Manuel Garcia: The best mexican player after Carlos Torre. He was a quite strong IM, but played too little after obtaining the GM title. He is retired from active chess (what does not mean from chess in general). He is now a... film director! His film "Libre de culpa" was a very promising effort, but the sound quality was awful. The film "una de dos" was a very good one.

Jul-29-07		whiteshark: I never heared before about hin. But there is a book about him: <MASTERPIECES OF ATTACK * THE BRILLIANT GAMES OF MEXICO�S GM MARCEL SISNIEGA CAMPBELL * <Gabriel Velasco> (1997) < These 659 games (most annotated) are an attempt to gather all his best efforts at the chessboard, many of which are really extraordinary works of art. Like his mentor, Carlos Torre, attacking is the style of this Mexican Grandmaster. <His games are often characterized by a very lively and enterprising style, the direct attack against the king being a salient feature in his style. As far as tactics and combinative play was concerned, Sisniega really excelled and produced many beautiful masterpieces and breathtaking short games.> -author. This grandmaster is your contemporary - you will learn the art of attack, sacrifices and combinations from him. Openings and games indexed as well as his opponents. A great book with lots of text to involve you. 299 pages, figurine algebraic. >>

Sep-17-07		Manuel Garcia: Deber�a volver al ajedrez activo.

Sep-17-07		chancho: Me imagino que esta partida es una de sus mas memorables. Anand vs M Sisniega, 1987

Sep-17-07		Manuel Garcia: �Seguro! Aunque supongo que las que le gan� a Yusupov y a Romanishin tambi�n las recuerda con gusto. Ya eran jugadores plenamente formados.
