Adjunto una entrevista muy interesante con la WGM Martha Fierro. Como saben Martha estuvo participando en el 1er Torneo Internaciona de Caguas y con su carisma, su sorisa y su afable caracter se gano el cariño de todos los fanaticos y ajedrecistas del país. Aqui en Puerto Rico se le quiere y aprecia mucho y siempre es muy placentero compartir en su precencia.
STAR interview: Martha Fierro
16. What is the best game you have ever played?
Very difficult question, because I am very critic with my games, I do have a few games that I have liked how I played but don't know my best game.
17. What do you like doing besides playing chess?
I coach a few talented young players and the top Italian women players. Apart from chess I love reading, listening to music and watching movies.
18. Do you believe in the future of women’s chess?
Yes, I believe that, with a right planning and motivation for women players we could increase the number and very important to organize more women events.
19. What is the best chess country in the world?
I think it is Spain, there are so many good tournaments and the conditions are good.
20. What is the best organized women’s tournament you took part in?
Apart from the Olympiads , World Youth and Pan Americans, I have just played 2 women tournaments so I cant really respond.
21. What is your dream in chess?
To become a GM.
22. What is your favorite chess piece?
I like the Bishop.
23. What is your favorite place in the world?
Home.
24. What is your favorite kind of food?
I love trying new and exotic food, but in general my favorite is Italian food.
25. What are your future plans for this year?
I am preparing for the the 2nd tournament of the Grand Prix circle and I have planned a few open tournaments.
26. Is chess popular in your country - Ecuador? Do you have any support from the government or your chess federation?
Chess has become very popular in the media, apart from football, is the other sport that gets a full front page in the sports section. After winning the gold medal at the WMSG (World Mind Sports Games) and silver medal at the last chess Olympiad I have received personal congratulations from the President of the Republic. Seems this new government will be an important supporter for chess.
Unfortunately I cannot say the same thing for the Federation, they dont work to improve chess in the country and all the top players are against the way the federation acts.
27. How is it to play chess for Ecuador?
I am very proud and happy to represent Ecuador. When I am in a tournament the media follows my result daily and I receive many emails from (Ecuadorians) non chess players supporting me each round.
28. What do you think we should do in order to make women’s chess more attractive to the media?
I think we should organize more women tournaments and invite the media, also I think is a nice idea to organize simuls around the world (given by a woman). Start talking more about women players. I think in general women chess could be more attractive for the media, specially because the draw statistic is lower than in the men's competition.
