Excellent.
I still don’t support the US supported coup though. Chess is nice, but it’s not in very good company in the Paraguayan education system…
If this were to happen in Honduras which is also struck by a US/Obama/Clinton supported coup, one might begin to wonder what’s going on, what these rotten regimes use chess for…
In other words: it would be nicer if it happened in Uruguay for example.
