Aug-25-05 | | ConLaMismaMano: This 16 year old mexican FM is considered the most probable succesor of Carlos Torre Repetto, he's at 2431 and climbing. |
|
Aug-26-05 | | ConLaMismaMano: I don't know if he's being coached or not by GMs Hernandez and/or Gonzalez Zamora. |
|
Jan-21-06 | | Caissanist: I can understand why the organizers of the "Young Masters World Chess Encounter in Cuernavaca" would want a home team that the locals can cheer for. But they could be setting this kid up for a very hard fall, since he is rated almost 200 points lower than any other participant in this tournament. Hopefully he won't take it too hard when he loses almost all his games, as he probably will. |
|
Feb-03-06 | | CowardlyKnight: Why didn't they pick a GM? |
|
Feb-03-06 | | iron maiden: I think they wanted him to have a shot at a GM-norm. |
|
Feb-04-06 | | BIDMONFA: Manuel Leon Hoyos LEON, Manuel

Feb-05-06 | | Dark Horse: He beat that Toppalov second, Chaparinov
|
|
Feb-10-06 | | Bobak Zahmat: <Dark Horse> That is quite a nice performance, certaintly with Black. |
|
Feb-10-06 | | VishyFan: He was agonizingly close to beating Karjakin, but loosened the grip and settled for a draw..... |
|
Feb-10-06 | | Bobak Zahmat: Karjakin hasn't the tournament of his life. He should today try to beat Nakamura to stay in the race for the first place. |
|
Aug-21-07 | | Manuel Garcia: Manuel León Hoyos is a GM now. he have had apparently learnt something from his games against such a strong opposition. |
|
Aug-22-07
 | | WannaBe: <Manuel Garcia> Yep! http://www.chessmexico.com/es/index... |
|
Sep-18-07 | | Manuel Garcia: He is quite active in Europe. He and others of his generation, like Ibarra Chamín and Uriel Capó. |
|
May-10-08 | | brankat: If one is serious about his/her chess career, then Europe is still the place where one needs to be. |
|
Jul-10-08 | | Yeomans: Manuel Leon Hoyos tiene un rating de 2543 y es el actual # 3 de Mexico, bien por Manuel!! |
|
Sep-02-08 | | Xenon Oxide: This is the second of Ivanchuk for Bilbao Grand Slam. Manuel is grossly underrated and an expert at openings. Good choice :) |
|
Oct-13-08 | | sergeidave: Manuel was Ivanchuk's second?? That's pretty cool!! Go Manuel!! Vamos, México!! |
|
Dec-04-08 | | sergeidave: Good luck on Wijk aan Zee 2009 in January, Manuel!! |
|
Jan-06-09 | | cuendillar: Thus you could truthfully claim that he was "second only to Ivanchuk". |
|
Jan-24-09 | | yxcvbnm: good to know that there are still gms out there with a drawing-percentage <30% |
|
Jan-31-09 | | technical draw: Manuel Leon Hoyos, the fighting Mexican! With one game to go in group C he has NO draws. That's called macho chess! |
|
Feb-01-09 | | mindanalyzer: <Xenon Oxide: This is the second of Ivanchuk for Bilbao Grand Slam. Manuel is grossly underrated and an expert at openings. Good choice :)> that explains Ivanchuk's results at corus A |
|
Feb-02-09 | | Hector Maluy: No it doesn't. You are just trying to justify Ivanchuk's results. |
|
Feb-03-09 | | AliMatok: < Overall record: +58 -83 =52 (43.5%)* > his record is very very very poor, guys stop telling us that he is a great player. he is great in mexico maybe but not in the world. sorry guys that's the truth. |
|
Jul-29-09 | | midi900: The record on chessgames.com is based on an incomplete record. For instance if you take the rated games he has played since 2007 he has a 70% score with white and 56% with black. Of course he is still very far from the absolute top, but he is improving. |
