I´m interested in chess for roughly 60 years. It helps me to keep young and to defeat age. That´s great.

Chess is about seeking truth and also here truth evolves with new theories, opening new possiilities. It´s a never ending process.

The essence of this art seems to be related to thinking, but self-emotional maturity is very relevant as well as individual willing.

Thinking alone is very cold and we may end up in strange places. Thinking lays down in the domain of God Kronus (Time); therefore, chess history is relevant for all of us, chess players. "Through history we make sense of time" (Heidegger).

Feeling leads us to creativity and this capacity allows us to keep improving computers, teaching them to play at higher and higher levels. Computers can beat us, but we can develop new programs to beat them, while they can´t do it because they can´t feel; therefore, they will never be able to be creative...(regardless of Heuristics...).

We are creative because we are living beings and the essence of life is creativity and love.

There is a third factor computers don´t share with us: our human will. Each human being has its own will (Shoppenhauer); therefore, we are true individuals, while computers (of the same kind) are all exactly the same, a signal they don´t have individual or collective will.

And we continue to search for truth in chess because of our passion and because we want (will); therefore, our game will always be alive and there is no computer that will be able to destroy it for the sake of good.

Chess has to do with individual growth and helping each other to grow. Our oponents help us (and we help them) in this process. It is said that bhuddist bishkus invented the game for reasons... It could be.

Thanks a lot to all my opponents: I will take great lessons from strong and equal ones. It will help me not making the same mistakes again. I hope to contribute to all others, so one day they can become strong too .

I teach chess to k12 students in Sao Paulo (a few hours/week) what gives me a lot of pleasure. They are very energetic...and they have a lot of passion! Chesskids and chess.com are of great help. Congrats!

I study chess using the dam computers (plus my creativity...yes!) and many books. I will be glad to share my findings and to chat with you whenever you want to.

I hope to make many new friends because this is all I am after here: a good game that can help us to become good friends. One chess - one world!

Bhavattu, Sabba, Mangalan!

Be happy!
