Good for him! Manuel Alvarez Escudero: Playing, And Winning, At 100 Years Old
What chess player inspires you? For some of us, it’s not GM Magnus Carlsen or GM Ian Nepomniachtchi, who will compete in the 2021 World Chess Championship beginning next month. It’s not even a titled player who has amassed hordes of followers to his stream such as GM Hikaru Nakamura.
For many of us, an inspiring chess player endures the challenges of life and still competes on the chessboard—and wins. No one has achieved this stature better than Manuel Alvarez Escudero, who celebrates his 100th birthday on October 12, 2021, and is still a competitive chess player.
And his quote is worth repeating.
The main objective always has been to have fun and make friends.
— Manuel Alvarez Escudero, a winning centenarian
