Slow Progress

My progress with the MDLM programme has been slow. I have taken on a major software project for a US company here and time has been a real constraint. On the positive side, I just won my second game on Chessworld.net

Update: I have not been able to devote time to Chess this month and July looks similar. Hopefully, I shall start again from August 16th.

A Beauty with Brains

Antoaneta Stefanova
Luis Blasco de la Cruz the Press Manager of the Festival Internacional de Ajedrez Isla de la Palma 2005, being held from the 3rd to 19th June 2005 in the Canary Islands, has been sending me daily updates of this Chess Tournament. I cannot follow the Spanish language in which he writes to me. Today, he sent me this photograph of Antoaneta Stefanova a Bulgarian Chess grandaster. She won the ladies section of the tournament. Antoaneta is 26 years old and has a FIDE rating of 2475. Chessgames.com has her games for our viewing pleasure. A Beauty with Brains!
