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:

Que dé la viuda un gemido
por la muerte del marido,
ya lo veo;
pero que ella no se ría
si otro se ofrece en el día,
no lo creo.

Que Cloris me diga a mí.
«Sólo he de quererte a ti»,
ya lo veo;
pero que siquiera a ciento
no haga el mismo cumplimiento,
no lo creo.

Que los maridos celosos
sean más guardias que esposos,
ya lo veo;
pero que estén las malvadas
por más guardias más guardadas,
no lo creo.

Que al ver de la boda el traje
la doncella el rostro baje,
ya lo veo;
pero que al mismo momento
no levante el pensamiento,
no lo creo.

José Cadalso y Vázquez (1741-1781)

  NakoSonorense: Amazing. It looks like Cristina Ronaldo will be going to Real after all for more than 90m!

  azaris: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transf...

Real Madrid will have the four most expensive transfers.

Jun-12-09  arsen387: yeah, seems like Ronaldo will be signed very soon, not very happy about that. that Perez guy is really insatiable :)

Premium Chessgames Member
  NakoSonorense: Now making fun of Real got just a little bit easier... :)
Jun-12-09  Jim Bartle: "that Perez guy is really insatiable :)"

Maybe he should go after the other Ronaldo as well, create some confusion.

  technical draw: I just read somewhere that the Real Madrid payroll is greater than the NY Yankees and Boston Redsox payrolls combined. That's a lot of (former) pesetas!

  azaris: And next to join is David Villa.

Who knows where the not-Galacticos will end up. Robben, van Nistelrooy, Sneijder, Drenthe, Heinze, Huntelaar all will likely have to move to make space.

Jun-14-09  Jim Bartle: Van Nistelrooy is not a Galactico? I thought he was one of the best players.

This is starting to look like the old Red Army team in the USSR's hockey league. They'd just draft all the best players into the army and put them on the team.

  valiant: <Jim Bartle: This is starting to look like the old Red Army team in the USSR's hockey league.> The Red Army didn't buy foreign stars for megabucks. And I'm not able to see any success guarantee in Real Madrid's commercial transfers either.
Jun-14-09  Jim Bartle: We'll see. I'm no expert, but I believe Barcelona, for example, has one or two competent players. Plus just collecting the most celebrated players onto a single team is no guarantee of success.

  valiant: Telefonica Blue, the Spanish hope in Volvo Ocean Race, ran aground near Göteborg today. It's a beautiful, but also very tricky archipelago ... http://www.volvooceanrace.org/news/...

Not anymore, besides, he will not play in the same team as CRonaldo.

  azaris: <El Sevilla FC y el Tottenham Hotspur han alcanzado este lunes un acuerdo económico para resolver su disputa legal surgida como consecuencia de la marcha de Juande Ramos del Sevilla FC, en octubre de 2007, para entrenar al equipo inglés. El equipo de Nervión ha visto satisfecha con este acuerdo su demanda.>

Unfortunately (for the Sevilistas), this probably means that Didier Zokora will transfer to Sevilla as part of the settlement.

  meloncio: I've been out some days due to a work trip. I've been in Faro, Portugal, and I heard there all comments about C.Ronaldo transfer.

<TheAlchemist><Cristina Ronaldo> Why do you call him Cristina? Hey wait, are you just joking? :-)

<azaris><...this probably means that Didier Zokora will transfer to Sevilla as part of the settlement.> I'm afraid this is true, but what can I do?

  NakoSonorense: I was expecting a massacre, but Spain only beat Iraq 1-0!

Premium Chessgames Member
  meloncio: <Spain-Irak> Last night I tried to watch the game, but my wife told me with her sweetest voice 'Do you never get tired, even when football season is off?'. I got the message, switched channel and we saw an old love movie. Sometimes it's necesary to do things like that...

  NakoSonorense: <'Do you never get tired, even when football season is off?> Women... they just don't get us!

<ElAlquimista> I'm ashamed to admit it, but I laughed out loud at that one. :( I never thought of it!

  azaris: <meloncio> And for you the good news is that del Nido is refusing to pay the asking price for Zokora. This is what happens when two of the most pennywise chairmen in Europe try to negotiate. Now he is most likely to go to Birmingham City.

  meloncio: Promotion: Zaragoza, Tenerife and Xerez. Two first are 'old friends', but for Xerez is their first promotion in 62 years of life. At last Jerez, the Sherry-wine town, has a team in La Liga.

  NakoSonorense: With their win over South Africa, Spain has now beaten Brazil's, Australia's and France's record of 14 consecutive victories in international games and has matched Brazil's record of 35 games without a loss!

How do I apply for Spanish citizenship??? :p

Premium Chessgames Member
  meloncio: <Nako><How do I apply for Spanish citizenship?> Oh, we are very strict:

- If you're Mexican and UCLA graduate, then two years living here.

- If you're Mexican and footballer, then fifteen days living anywhere.
