GARCIA, Leontxo

Dec-27-20  Caissanist: Garcia is a terrific chess journalist for the Spanish-language newspaper El Pais. A fine tribute to Kasparov's late mother is here: https://elpais.com/deportes/2020-12... .
Dec-27-20  Messiah: It is unusual that a very, VERY famous chess-related personality like Mr. Leontxo Garcia has just two comments here. Probably a database error.
