I love chess since the celebrated match Fischer / Spassky.
Then I bought some chess books and I will never forget the strong impression of Bobby Fischer's book "My 60 memorable games".
Presently retired from chess board competition due to professional duties.
Official chess performance:
- 1972: Best prize for under 16 years old in the Mozambique Chess Open.
- 1973: Mozambique Junior Champion (ex-aequo).
- 1975: Top ten in the Portuguese Junior Championship.
- 1975: Portuguese Universities Championship: Champion.
- 1975 / 1982: 3 times Portuguese Team Vice-Champion playing in the team of Académica de Coimbra (board 1 and 2 of 4).
- 1975 / 1985: once Distrital Champion of Coimbra e two 2nd places.
- Played 3 times against different Portuguese Champions in title, scoring 1 victory and 2 draws.
- 1978 / 1993: played for Portugal in the ICCF European Championships, where in the final was awarded an ELO of 2446 (presently in the top ten list of the biggest ratings in Portugal).
