100-Jähriger gibt sein Ligadebüt - und gewinnt

Sportliche Ambitionen hat er kaum. "Spaß haben und Freunde finden" will Manuel Alvarez Escudero (100) beim Schach. Das hat ihn aber nicht davon abgehalten, beim Ligadebüt für seinen neuen Club zu punkten:

Alvarez was born in 1921 and learned to play chess at 25 in college, while studying engineering. He has been playing ever since - for 75 years! - and shows no intention of retiring. His chess goals? “The main objective has always been to have fun and make friends”, he said.
