Subject: 3/4 page coverage of the computers tourn in a chilean newspaper

I almost did not give credit my eyes when opening my newspaper, in the morning,
my first professional task after breakfast and then tire, I come back to bed,  I
read a complete and -amazing!- careful and without mistakes coverage of the
comps tourn in cadaques. They even bothered to call Ossie Weiner to ask some
questions. Well, not so weird after all: Chile is a country absolutely full of
computers freaks. The most famous engineer here, a world authority in seismic
engineering, and old, nice man and extraordinary player in his time, has the
biggest library of chess stuff I have ever seen.  When you come into his home,
the very first thing you see after the door is opened if a big granite knight
staring at you. Of course he has everything that has been produced in the real
of chess software and more. With him I feel like a child with just Chessmaster
2000 playing at level 1. Great guy. If only I have already bought an scanner to
let you see the article.... BTW, do tou read spanish?
