Dear profile visitor, My name is Vanessa, 28 years old, from Auckland, New Zealand. Currently, I work as an Air Traffic Controller Training Manager and Radar Systems Technician at Auckland Airport. Besides chess, my hobbies include tennis, football, and enjoying the nature of my lovely Middle Earth 😅. We can communicate in English, German, Portuguese, or Spanish, but please be kind and respectful. PS: I happily accept challenges for 3 min, 5 min, and 10 min games. However, if the ELO difference exceeds +/-100 points, please send an unrated challenge.

Chess is one of the oldest surviving games on the planet, with our current rule system being mostly intact since the 1400s. It's also the most widely played game on the planet. I take interest in the intersection of these two pieces of trivia: the history of competition. I mostly write about 19th century tournaments in my "Winner's POV" series, but if I find something else that's interesting to write about, I shall (ideas welcome).

I am a New York-based writer, documentary producer, and chess expert (USCF rating ~2060). My insane obsessive hobby for a long time has been to play through old chess games, more or less in chronological order. I am interested in the evolution of chess and looking to follow various ideas as they develop over time, but most of all, I am interested in the players and in treating them sort of the way an art survey book would treat artists. The theory is that each top player – to consistently defeat other grandmasters – has to bring something new to the game, has to have a philosophy of chess that sets them apart.  I am thrilled to share that there is now a book version of the blog available at Amazon.com.  For non-chess-writing (if there really is such a thi...

Nunca li nenhum livro ou tive muitos amigos que se interessavam tanto quanto eu, então comecei a esquecer do jogo. Lá por 2014, com 20 anos, comecei a aprender e praticar de novo, mas o trabalho engoliu todo meu tempo e tive de desistir de novo. Sempre amei o jogo, então mais uma vez estou dando uma chance ao meu xadrezinho, mesmo que seja capivara demais. Quando focado, até vejo umas boas jogadas, mas quando tô com a cabeça na lua - o que aco...
