When I was 8 years old I was a small "chess prodigy" and won some regional tournments.As I was losing at school because of chess, my mama made me stop.

I studied a lot, went to medical school and had other hobbies like music and video game.I got an illness in my hands and lost the possibility of doing the hobbies.At the same time, my older daughter (6 years old) started chess classes in kindergarden.So I recame to chess, playing with her.

For her age she plays well but not as I would like.Against computers there is no emotion and in CC there is a lot of it.I have a small amount of time between my appointments and so I prefer chess mentor and online games with, at least, 3 days of time.

My hands are almost good but my intention is to stay in chess and, perhaps, play in some real tourneys with my kids.

I am having, also, a lot of enjoyment with interaction, vote chess and online chess.

My objectives for 2 years are: Bullet 850 Blitz 1300 Standard 1500 On line 1900 Mentor 2100 Tactics 1400.Also want Brasil, my home team, stabilized in the division A from WL.

As I learnt when I was old, no chance of being a titled player but no need of this because I get a lot of enjoyment with these objetictives.
