ABOUT ME

I am a chessplayer. All of my life (since I was 13) chess was (and still is) my main ocupation. I like music, to read, any kind of knowledge, movies, but the main occupation is chess. I play it profissionally: I teach, train and play chess in person or on-line.

I like to travell. but I dislike the whole process involved in travell. I'm a home person.And I love may wife Lola.
