Now, I'm 66y old chess player, live in BELO HORIZONTE, in the center of BRAZIL. I played chess early as 11y, was 5th in JR championship 75, won 2 university team championship as 4th board 1977/78, 2nd in classification of my state championship/1983, when gave up chess for a long time, playing music. I included some of this games as commentary in "my favorite games" for other games which are unimportant easy tied. I had played some games against the CHESSMASTER program, and had won some games "simulated" masters by the computer, including FLOHR, SMYSLOV, RESHEVSKY, NIMZOVITSCH and CAPABLANCA; sure is not easy to do it! Of course I spend much time, trying to win, go forth, go back; but the game has more resources than me, so I guess that is correct that I have a chance to go back some moves, as the computer can see everything on 10 moves ahead, or maybe more.
However, my CD had become damaged and computer cannot read it anymore; so I cannot play against Chessmaster again. This is very sad.
My favorite players are RUBISTEIN, ALEKHINE (when he was sober), SMYSLOV, BOTVINNIK, FISCHER, POLUGAEVSKY, KASPAROV and me, of course.
I have a lot of bad results in competitions, as I had never time to really dedicate my self to won a championship, but I have some beautiful games, including those with computer, where I had played very good the endings. Sometimes, with little advantage, of course computer never give up, only when checkmate happens.
I felt very glad to give some destiny for my games, although I doubt someone will have interest to see them. I reach 1800 kibitz, and maybe already reproduced more than 2200 games. I would like to play a real tournament. But I doubt so much about the chess play today, since anyone can use computer programs in cell-fone to find best moves, while your brain is boiling to do one single move.
Maybe this will come to be the end of our noble sport. You are welcome to see my page, hope that you like. And for you all of Chess-games my eternal gratitude for let me being here during this good time. Thank you so much!
PS. I had placed "Mecking" here BEFORE, to homage him. However, seeing his coward match against Polugaevsky, I simply cannot applause. I removed and I'm certain of doing this. He was our best player, but I hoped something more from him.
