LEXY ORTEGA
(born Mar-08-1960, 66 years old) Cuba (federation/nationality Italy)

[what is this?]

Grandmaster and FIDE Trainer Ortega became Italian Chess Champion in 2009.

In his youth he practiced judo at a competitive level until 1974, when after an accident that caused him to break his foot, he decided to devote himself completely to chess.

In 1978 he won the junior (under-18) championship in Cuba and in 1986 he was second to compatriot Walter Arencibia , who won the junior world championship (under-20) in that year. He was coach of the Mexican national chess team. In the early 90s he moved to Italy, taking citizenship after a few years.
