Alcalà de Xivert-Alcossebre
International Chess Master Miguel Illescas Córdoba will visit Alcala de Xivert on 10th August
The eight-time
chess champion of Spain is very well travelled and before agreeing to come he
was already interested in the Sierra de Irta Natural Park, with its truly
unique beauty. His cultural writing can
be seen in his latest book “Jaque mate” (“Checkmate”)
published by Alienta, part of the Planeta group. From his many encounters, always with people
of high standing, you can see that we are in the presence of a unique
person. Reading it is recommended. It talks of chess and enterprise. From the match between Kasparov and the Deep
Blue computer to maximising time in negotiations.....
It is not like
in the military where everyone is imagined to have value, no, Miguel has
value. You can get to know him a little
better in Alcala de Xivert on the 10th August when he will be giving
a talk at 17:00 h in the Pensioners’ Hall or at 18:30 h, when he will
simultaneously play against 25 chess players in the Plaza de la Iglesia.
