I grew up in Southern California, so I have great affection for Mexico people.  I apologize to you for all the bad things our President has said about you, I didn't vote for that guy.  One time I was playing a series of chess games on Yahoo against a group of Mexican students in their dorm, some of whom were better than I was, some not.  In the last game, I arrived at a losing position, so I told the guy "The only way I can win now is if a giant bird lands on your phone line and takes out your internet."

A second after I entered that in the chatbox, his internet winked out and never came back.  I'll never be a GM, but as long as I can summon giant birds, I'm still a force to be reckoned with.  Bruce the brujo.

OK just for the record, I don't think trump feels any contempt towards Mexicans, I think we should embrace foreign culture but we just can't let people walk into our country like they own especially terrorists, gang members etc. just saying

Wow, this thread got political really fast. I guess it'll have to be locked now. (IBTL). happy.png

A proposal to "Build a wall and make Mexico pay for it" is contemptuous right there.  It's not how you treat a friendly neighbor that's a great country in its own right.  Terrorists and gang members are for the most part fantasy bogeymen.  The gang members will simply tunnel under the wall or fly an ultralight over it, and the terrorists will use a different entry vector entirely, perhaps a shipping container properly ventilated and luxury outfitted, which ends up on a certain truck that drops them near the safe house.  Who wants to walk across miles of burning desert with a nuke suitcase?

When I saw the OP title, I thought uh-oh and clicked to see what it was.  I was relieved.  I can't recommend any ajedrez material in Spanish, but I can suggest getting ahold of back issues of Chess in the USSR and Chess Informant, which are just GM games with the notation but no annotation. 

As an old, retired lawyer/judge, I have opinyunz about a great many things, and I will never apologize for telling people what they are.  I acknowledge that chess.com is a privately owned forum where there is no First Amendment, which means that the mods can lock the thread if they want, and my only recourse, as I indicated upthread, would be to summon a giant bird to take out their internet, if I'm able to figure out who and where they are.
