It all began when Emilio Cordova, a 15-year-old international master from Peru, was crowned South American chess champion in January after winning a tournament in the Argentine city of Cordoba.

Instead of returning to Lima, he told relatives he was heading to Brazil to compete in tournaments there in a push to reach the rank of international grandmaster.

But far from focusing on his grandmaster dreams, Emilio quickly became caught up in Sao Paulo's pulsating and sleazy nightlife...

It gets better

There are so many chess-related double entendres here, but I can't piece a whole one together.

Apparently, nobody actually WAS rating the kind of mate he was contemplating.

My favorite line from the story..........

A CHESS prodigy who ran away and hooked an exotic dancer almost twice his age has returned home to a hero's welcome


Damn straight he as returned home to a hero's welcome. Every 15 year old's dream.
