You know how you asked to choose a security question when you make an account online? One of the options is often, \u201cwhat is the country you’d like to visit the most?\u201d I chose that one with the answer, \u201cChile\u201d.<\/p>\n

It all started with a 9-hour-long flight from to Santiago. We left the winter in the United States and arrived in the summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Airbnb provided us with a fabulous apartment on the 6th<\/sup>\u00a0floor overlooking the famous Plaza de Armas in downtown Santiago.<\/p>\n

After taking our sights there the next day we took a bus trip to the port City of Valparaiso, where steep hills and views of the bay reminded me of my time in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Next was a 2.5 hour flight up North to Arica.\u00a0 Chile is that long a country, stretching north-south for over 5,000 kilometers, with a great variety of climatic zones present. Despite it being a port located on the 18th parallel, Arica isn’t your typical tropical paradise, its climate is more of a dry desert type with a lot of sunshine but very little humidity and precipitation.<\/p>\n

Historically Arica has been a frontier town, disputed in the 9th Century wars with Chile’s neighbors Peru and Bolivia, and it has grown into an important commercial center, supporting a population of some 200,000 people.<\/p>\n

11 Grandmasters in a 127-player field were headed by Alexei Shirov. Most of us started with 3\/3, and then the real games began.<\/p>\n

Even though I quickly self-destructed against Amonatov. I got favorable pairings in Rounds 5 and 6 and was back in the hunt. My highlight came in Round 7 when I downed a young Peruvian star Jose Martinez Alcantara, who wasn’t quite prepared to defend a theoretical Nimzo.<\/p>\n\n\n
