On this day I will talk about chess, but more than that it will be a short biography of the teacher CARLOS ALBERTO FAGUNDEZ, better known as "EL TABLERO DE FAGUNDEZ", I must also mention that this information is extracted from the newspaper Ciudad Caracas.
Born sixty-two years ago in Venezuela / Caracas, in the San Juan parish and raised in La Vega, Carlos Roberto Fagúndez Rivera can be said to be a horse in the practice and teaching of chess, a sport to which more than four decades
Among his sports chevrons - of which he did not boast, but of whom he writes knows - are the 11 titles won in representation of the Mayor's Office of Caracas in the Municipal Labor Sports Games.
