What's here? My comments about chess and my pdf booklets on players and tournaments. PLUS links to sites about chess history, scholastic help, chess books (on line and downloadable), places to play chess online (real time and correspondence), Soviet chess sites, chess instruction, recommended books, chess engines, endgame databases and other really great Blogs. You will find posts about chess engines, well-known and not-so-well-known historical figures, great games and a lot of other things about chess that I have found interesting or informative. There are also posts on improvement containing subject matters like pattern recognition and how chess masters think. Most improvement advice has been gleaned from the masters themselves and psychological studies which have attempted to understand the thought process of chess masters. Be sure to take time to browse the whole Blog for interesting material. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Manuel Gerardo Monasterio

     Who?! In 1999 he began playing by email at IECG. In 2003 he was the third Argentinean player to receive an official title on IECG, Email Master. After earning the IECG EM title he apparently became inactive. Monasterio was a writer on Jeremy Silman’s site where he wrote a correspondence chess openings section.
     By profession he is a Licensed Psychologist and Medical Doctor (also a PHD in Botanic Medicine) writer and lecturer on Compared Religions, Beliefs and Practical Philosophy. As a hobby he composes songs.
     There are some very interesting opening articles on Silman’s site that are worth checking out. His annotations are particularly instructive. VIEW ARTICLES
