I played actively in tournaments from 1972-1978....Puerto Rico National Champion in 1976...now playing for fun. Love chess to a fault; rusty as heck right now. Buying books of all kinds: game collections, endgame, opening...etc, but mostly game collections.  Favorite players...Bronstein, Tal, Emanuel Lasker, Rubinstein, Geller, Tartakower, Nezhmetdinov, Adorjan.  FIDE Rating 2140 (January 7, 2025) Note: Please do not ask me to be your "friend" or to join any club or to play online. My only interest in this site, at this moment, is to write and read interesting articles about chess. Thanks.

I am a New York-based writer, documentary producer, and chess expert (USCF rating ~2060). My insane obsessive hobby for a long time has been to play through old chess games, more or less in chronological order. I am interested in the evolution of chess and looking to follow various ideas as they develop over time, but most of all, I am interested in the players and in treating them sort of the way an art survey book would treat artists. The theory is that each top player – to consistently defeat other grandmasters – has to bring something new to the game, has to have a philosophy of chess that sets them apart.  I am thrilled to share that there is now a book version of the blog available at Amazon.com.  For non-chess-writing (if there really is such a thi...

IM IA I publish my books myself. My ambition is for them to be the best and have the most beautiful covers. https://witalis-sapis.com/en/homepage/ When creating a new book, I decided to change the cover of "Master Strategy" so that all the covers would have musical and chess motifs. The cover of "Master Strategy" is a reference to Taylor Swift. Her album "Folklore" and music videos for "Cardigan" and "Willow". Most people probably know Taylor as a celebrity and singer, but in my opinion she is one of the most interesting personalities of our times. The cover of "Game Techniques" is a reference to Cat Stevens' album "Tea for the Tillerman". And the cover of "Master Strategy in Endings" refers to Genesis' album "Foxtrot". The references are sometimes close ("Game Techniques"), and...

Chess is one of the oldest surviving games on the planet, with our current rule system being mostly intact since the 1400s. It's also the most widely played game on the planet. I take interest in the intersection of these two pieces of trivia: the history of competition. I mostly write about 19th century tournaments in my "Winner's POV" series, but if I find something else that's interesting to write about, I shall (ideas welcome).

I was born in 1960 - the year a young Mikhail Tal became World Champion. After leaving the British junior chess circuit I started working unusual hours and have done ever since. For that reason I had very little chance to play chess as an adult, and instead bought chess books. At least 1000 have passed through my hands, and I have gone over at least 50,000 Master level games. I am fascinated by chess as an evolutionary process, and have been writing about chess history since the days when I had to type up articles on a stencil for a 'duplicating machine'.  There is a saying :- 'No-one is entitled to an opinion. Everyone is entitled to an informed opinion. Who would say that they are entitled to ignorance.' Sometimes things that ' everybody knows' are not true. All chess players are my f...

I was 4.  My father came to me, bent down, looked deep into my eyes, gave me a toy gun (my first one), and told me, “You’re a big boy now; take care of our family.” I didn’t see him for two years. He left for the war. I was six when he returned. (I didn’t recognize him initially due to his beard)He was surprised to see I knew how to play chess. My Grandma had taught me.  Long story short, he took me to a chess school. I got badly beaten in my first game, got angry, and started to train… Long story even shorter, I became a Grandmaster at 19. Then crossed 2,600. Then got very close to breaking into the top 100 players in the world.  But then… I fell in love. Not with a person. I fell in love with chess coaching. I began assisting and instructing other passionate chess players.  When...
