You can just say:
Los touros es dans los linos overtos, es mucho buenos por blancos/nigra
That's what I do when I talk to Spanish people. It works well.
gracias..... well, I think of the use of maestro as - I guess respect for a teacher. like in japan, I understand the teacher is called sensei, ie master (I think...). in the good ol' usa, though, teacher is just......... that guy or gal at the front of the class.... sad.

Maestro means teacher, but in a wider sense of the word it means Master. In this case, your student is addressing you in a very polite way because he considers you a chess master. In Japanese martial arts, it is equivalent to sensei.
maestro is just used in a flyer to describe me... the kids call me........whatever..? anyway, I just wanted to make sure maestro didn't imply I was claiming to be a master level player..... that would be false advertising, lol.....
maestro just means teacher dont worry about it you can change it to profesor but is the same

The solution is very simple...if they are in the U.S. they should speak English....if I go to Spain or Mexico, I expect to have to speak Spanish. Just require them to talk and at least understand English if they want to learn, the burden should be on them not you.....you likely don't even charge anything????
I not only admire the OP, but also envy him. That must be funny as hell.

Nobody needs your xenophobia. How about you learn the many languages spoken by California residents, instead?
I teach chess in a library of many Spanish speakers. This is in California. on my bilingual flyer, I requested that a sentence be included stating that I speak only English. A native Spanish speaker thus included the sentence "Maestro habla solo ingles," My question: Is Maestro the correct word? I looked it up after I read my flyer, and maestro seems to mean teacher, expert, authority, etc. I don't want to come across as a (pretender) GM or expert rated player.... My translater probably is not aware of the Spanish equivalents of GM, M, or expert.... but if maestro is the appropriate word, it's fine with me!
I've tried teaching Spanish-only speakers, and it's just not fair to them.... and I come off like an idiot, either speaking English to them, as though they suddenly can understand English, or tossing in the occasional bizarre Spanish words I think I know........... I teach basically total newbies to chess. Gracias!
