Diadoco: HI, enjoy the game!
}
2... Nf6 3. g3
{
Diadoco: What do you do for living?
}
3... d5
{
Serk: I'm a journalist. I work in a regional newspaper.
}
4. cxd5 Nxd5
{
Diadoco: I was a journalist for 30 years, on radio, television and newspapers. Everything at the local level. Now I'm retired.
}
5. Bg2 Nb6 6. Nf3 Nc6
{
Serk: I have been working in a regional newspaper for twenty years. I don't think that I have a good job, but in fact I have no choice. 
}
{
Diadoco: The newspapers in Mexico are in crisis, by the competition of the Internet. The problem is that sales of printed copies have plummeted and advertisers spend less on space because they know that media penetration is lower. Then the newspapers put up an internet site, but the problem is that people only use the internet sites that are free. They read the website of the newspaper but do not pay anything and no longer buy the print edition. There is also an offer of sites dedicated to disseminating news at international, national and local level. Which do not even have printed version.
}
7. O-O Be7
{
Serk: Unfortunately my English is not good, ass yours. So it is hard for me to express all my thoughts. In Russia we have the same troubles. But in our region we have a a special difficulty. Now our printed edition is distributed by mail. Mail of Russia constantly increases the rates. So newspapers are dying.

}
{
Diadoco: In Mexico, the newspapers have their own staff to distribute the copies of the subscribers. Also, there is a network of people who sells the newspaper retail distributed throughout the geographic area of influence of the newspaper. For example, I am subscribed to two newspapers and every day I receive them at my house at six in the morning. When I get up I find the specimens at my door.
}
8. a3 O-O
{
Serk: You must open the first file Houdini_5.reg to activate the engine. Sending Houdini, I wrote about it in my letter.
I thought that I had sent you Komodo 10.4.
Have you got 10.3 version?  
}
{
Diadoco: Yes, komodo is 10.4 Version.
}
9. b4 Be6
{
Serk: Our newspaper haven't own division to deliver printed edition to the subscribers.
So Mail of Russia dictate their policies. 
}
{
Diadoco: Your newspaper is a weekly ?. In Mexico the distribution of a newspaper would be impossible using the mail, they are inefficient and the shipments arrive in a week or more. In my country when we want a document to arrive fast we use a messenger, and the shipment arrives in 24 hours, but they are expensive for around 10 dollars a document. We only use mail for monthly magazines.
}
10. Rb1 f6
{
Serk: Our edition is an official newspaper of the government of Lipetsk region. But some times ago authorities lost interest in the newspaper. So now we have many troubles.
}
{
Diadoco: I know the tradition of newspapers in Russia. Like Iskra with the Social Democrats and Lenin, newspapers were used to inform, create opinion, organize people and mobilize it. The Soviet state highly valued these media as an instrument of power. But the current political evolution makes the function of the newspaper anachronistic. To adapt to the new times we have to change and what the readers want are more critical means. The bad thing that the means of the state have as function to support the current order. I worked in a magazine of a large industrial complex, promoted the policies of the Management and included issues that interested the workers to accept it. I was successful, the magazine was very read but there was always the contradiction that more than to inform on the reality the function of the magazine was to reinforce to the system ideologically. The magazine was suspended for lack of interest by managers who did not understand how the project helped them.
}
11. d3 a5
{
Serk: I share all your thoughts. Honestly say, I can't imagine that in Mexico journalists have the same troubles as in Russia. 
In our country newspapers have lost their positions because of television. Now TV become the main instrument of creating public opinion.
}
{
Diadoco: In Mexico, television is also in crisis. There were two major national broadcasters that broadcast at 22:00 a.m., which set the direction of public opinion. The chains charged extradosfericas amounts for their commercials to the companies and to the government. Currently they are in decline, before the social networks in Internet and You tube. Television networks have had to lay off staff and stop producing programs for lack of advertisers. It is interesting that several national and local newspapers have developed TV news channels that are transmitted over the internet and cable, which reaches an audience but the problem is that they generate few resources because advertisers do not trust them. Funny thing, my family pays for cable television that has 100 TV channels from around the world, mainly Americans. But of three children that I have two never see the TV channels, and always resort to You Tube and Netflix. They are a sample of the trend of the public in My country, which rejects established schedules and only see programming on demand, as they choose what and at what time to see it.
}
12. b5 Nd4
{
Serk: In Russia only federal TV channels have a rich life. Our country has got many troubles in international relatoins. So television now create the public opinionin in the tradition of cold war.      
}
{
Diadoco: I listen to the radio station and read the spunik website, to find out from the official point of view of the Russian government. And I was very attracted by the focus of the news oriented towards the confrontation with the USA and the importance they give to the dissemination of military news. In Mexico and in US newspapers, the perspective is different, the confrontation with Russia is not handled as a major problem. They are more concerned about problems such as drug trafficking, Islamic terrorists and even the most "striking" enemy is North Korea. Russia is no longer the enemy to win.
}
13. Nd2 Qc8
{
Serk: In fact events in the United States are the major theme of Russian TV channels. Only last forthe they prefered elections in France.  Federal TV channels are trying to convince us that Russia plays the main role in the world and the US President do nothihg but only thinks about Russia.
By the way, I've just found that you had registered on the Lechenicher SchachServer. But you don't play on it. Why?
I have been playing on it for nine months.
}
{
Diadoco: In America Russia is respected for its military potential and Atomic arsenal, and for its influence in the Middle East, but in general the news about Russia goes unnoticed, its repercussion on public opinion is practically nil. I do not play in the server that you ask me because I am saturated with my games in the ICCF and in 5 correspondence chess clubs on the internet. Mainly I am playing representing Mexico in the board 1 in a Pan American, besides playing in an intersonal represented to the North American Zone in the board 7.
}
14. e3 Nf5
{
Serk: I see that now you play in the tournament which has the sevenths category.I guess that it takes you a lot of time to make decisions in your games.
As for me I'm going to take part only in ICCF tournaments in nearest future because  I have no time for other events.
Now I have 32 active games (23 - in ICCF tournaments, 9 - on Lechenicher SchachServer). It's too hard for me. 
}
{
Diadoco: That's why I'm focused on ICCF and I do not play on another server because of lack of time. Save schemingmind where I relax even if I lose the game
}
15. Qc2 Rd8
{
Serk: I play on Lechenicher SchachServer because it is free chess server where many good chess players played. ICCF has better services but tournament fees are high. 
How do you play in Pan American championship?
}
{
Diadoco: What do you want to know about my participation in the Pan-American?
}
16. Bb2 Nd6
{
Serk: Have you any chances to became international correspondence chess master? How do you play with two grandmasters? Have you any interesting positions?
}
{
Diadoco: I already have an international Master norm, I hope to get the other two in a period of three years. And for 2018 to be a correspondence chess master for this title I already have two norms won.
}
17. Nde4 Nf7
{
Serk: About 10 years ago our chief editor was the main person in our newspaper. But then he lost his power and authority and the main person became the director of the publishing house. He has all the authority but he is not responsible for anything. So our our newspaper is becoming 
worse and worse. How are things in Mexico?
 
}
{
Diadoco: One of the main problems of these last days in Mexico is the confrontation of the "Huachicoleros" with the Federal government. A Huachicolero is a gasoline thief, who drills the pipelines of the distribution network, extracting fuel and then sells it on the black market. In this way a business of billions of dollars per year has emerged, which is in the hands of well-organized bands that have weapons and infrastructure. The government intends to privatize the pipeline network that is currently owned by Pemex's government-owned company, but capitalists do not rush their funds while there are fuel thieves. This has generated armed clashes between soldiers of the Mexican army and Huachicoleros with several dead. The worst thing for the government is that there is a video where a soldier executes a person who is disarmed and subjected, with a shot in the head.
}
18. Rbc1 Bh3
{
Serk: It is interesting for me how the internal life of the newspaper arranged? Who is the main person - chief editor or director?
}
{
Diadoco: In Mexico the newspapers are private companies, the typical thing is that the director is the owner or one of his relatives, who controls the political and commercial relations of the environment. The editor in chief is responsible for the technical, such as notes, editing and design. The director is the maximum authority that establishes the editorial line of the newspaper, but the editor has autonomy to control the edition as long as he applies the director's line. A director prefers to lower the quality of the newspaper to which its authority is affected.

19. Rfd1 Bxg2
{
Serk: Are there in Mexico state newspapers?
}
20. Kxg2
{
Diadoco: In Mexico the state had a called national newspaper, which ran from 1929 to 1998, which was distributed like the other newspapers and the public paid for it in the newspapers post. But its influence was small and with very few readers. The state uses a news agency called Notimex, to influence all newspapers that are private, which contract the Service. All newspapers in the country have Notimex among their news providers and photos. However, there are other private agencies that are controlled by the national newspapers, which are the ones that normally produce the background news. In Mexico there is an institution called the "Chayote", which consists of the government paying a salary envelope to private journalists, provided they handle the news according to the official approach. It is called "chayote" because a government press chief used to pay bribes in the shadow of a large Squash forest.

20... f5
{
Serk: Thank you for the answer!  It is very interesting to know the conditions in which journalists work in another country.
May I ask you another question?
Do regional governments have they own newspapers?
}
{
Diadoco: Mexico is a country made up of states that are regional governments. The governments of the states do not have newspapers, they have a radio station and a television channel that cover with their transmission the area geography of the state. Public radio and television are focused on rescuing the culture and also report but has little weight in public opinion. But social communication is done in private newspapers, mainly through a press coordination, which buys spaces in the media, where information is published as if it were news and not as advertisements. So in Mexico regional newspapers are private, but one of its main sources of income is the management of government information.

{
Serk: I've just sent you a link. Using it you can download Komodo11. But you need to treat the file by means of Patch (You can find it in the folder). In other case engine will work badly.
As for me I've never used Patch and I dodn't know what is it. For this reason I haven't used Komodo 11 yet.
}
{
Diadoco: thanks

22. d4 exd4
{
Serk: You wrote that in Mexico the newspapers have their own staff to distribute the copies of the subscribers.But who subscribes to Newspapers? What organization does this work? Mail or another organization?
}
{
Diadoco: The area of ??marketing of newspapers makes a campaign for people to subscribe. The usual thing is that the subscription is with an annual payment for example the regional daily I read daily costs 8 Mexican pesos each edition, which for 365 days of the year is 2920 pesos the total cost. If I subscribe it costs me 2000 pesos a year and I save 920 pesos, I am also left early in the morning in the house and if I am not subscribed I have to go and buy it at the newspaper station. In addition to being subscribed I receive a monthly social magazine and give me a card with which I make discounts in restaurants and shops. In other words, whoever reads the newspaper daily should subscribe because it saves money, they take the newspaper to their home every day and also receive discounts in stores. The same newspaper sells the subscriptions and promotes them with advertising like any other product, hires agents who visit potential clients and convince them, always beautiful and kind girls. They even come to raffle cars among their subscribers to stimulate subscriptions.
I am subscribed to two regional newspapers and every day without fail, when I get up I find the newspapers in the door of my house protected with a plastic bag so that they do not mistreat. A newspaper dealer dispatches the city on a motorcycle during the early morning delivering the issues.

{
Diadoco: Thank you for your kind sending, greetings from mexico
}
{
Diadoco: Hi, I organized a tournament between stokcfish 8 and Komodo 11 and had 8 draws and two wins of Komodo 11. It seems to have more force than the stockfish version 8.
}
24... Nd5
{
Serk: Thank you for your answer about newspapers in Mexico.But some questions remain for me unclear. In Russia everyone can buy the subscription in the post office. Which organization sells a subscription to the newspaper in Mexico? Is it mail or another organization?
}
{
Diadoco: In Mexico the subscriptions to newspapers are sold by the same newspapers. The mail has nothing to do with selling the subscriptions.
}
25. Nf3 fxg3
{
Serk: May I ask you another question? Where can I buy over the Internet true Mexican pepper?
}
26. hxg3
{
Diadoco: What is Mexican pepper? What do you mean by that term, maybe you want chilies? In Mexico there are half a hundred varieties of chiles, what variety do you require?
}
26... Qg4
{
Serk: In Lipetsk I can buy only ground chili. But the package does not indicate what sort of pepper. That's why I know only about Habanero. It is the hottest pepper in the world. But I've never taste it. Which variety of chili can you advice?
}
{
Diadoco: In Mexico there are at least 64 types of peppers, as shown in this table:

{
Diadoco: In this place is an online sales site: http://listado.mercadolibre.com.mx/chiles#D[A:chiles,B:1]
}
{
Diadoco: Also I found this online store that caters all over Europe:

}
27. Nh2 Qg6
{
Serk: Thank you!
And what sort of chili do you prefer?
}
{
Diadoco: A chile very suitable for people who are not accustomed to eating it, is Xalapeño chili. It is a chile that measures between 8 to 12 Centimetros, very fleshy, whose taste is pleasant. The secret to eating it is that it is chopped into pieces, but you can control how spicy it is. If you want that it is not spicy you must remove all the seeds and the veins (they are white strips of material where the seeds are adhered). If you want it to be moderately spicy, it partially removes seeds and veins. If you want it to be spicy do not take anything away. And lastly if you want extrapicante, before chopping the chili you must rub it against the table so that it rolls on itself, To this we say in Mexico that it is "bullfighting".

Serk: Thank you!
I passed egams in our university. I had to do it because I tried to get PhD in philology. 
}
{
Diadoco: Congratulations, I'm glad for your achievement!
}
29. Qd2 Nd6
{
Serk: Frankly speeking, I didn't understand the message about "bullfighting"/ What did you mean when you wrote "rub it against the table"?
I've read your comment about our finished game. I must say that I only replayed the game Kharlamov-Terekhov (Russian winter, 2016). Terekhov played 27...Ne5 28.Rc5 Rd6 29.Rf1 Nd3 30. Ra5 Nxf4+ 31.Qxf4 Rd5 32. Qxq4 fxg4 33. Ra4 Rxh5 34. Rxg4 Ra5 35.a4=

30. Nxd6 Bxd6
{
Serk: It's very interesting video. Thank you!
But unfortunatelly don't know Spain. It is very interesting mhy does it need to fry pepper?
Do you taste habanero chili? 
I see that you don't use chess engines in our game. Why? Black can play 30...Bg5 to finish the game.
}
{
Diadoco: Dear friend: In the games that are made in Schemingmind is not allowed the use of engines, you can consult databases and books, but not engines. It is a rule that we honor many of the players as a matter of honor. However, there is controversy because many users are clear that if they use without acknowledging that they do and that is a violation of the code of ethics established. Personally I play with engines in my ICCF games but in Schemingmind I never use them.
}
31. Nf3 Nf4+
{
Serk: Unfortunatelly I didn't Know about this rule. So I'll finish my playing on SM server. ICCF events is more interesting for me.
}
{
Diadoco: In Schemingmind there is a variant called advanced chess where you can use modules, you can enjoy this option. Another issue is that many of the players do not respect the rule of not using motors and so far this problem has not been solved.
}
32. Kf1 Qd3+
{
Serk: I got used to use chess engines. That's why ICCF server is comfortable for me. So I decided that I'll finish all my games on SM server and I shall not play any more.

{
Serk: May I ask you another question? SM rating consists of two figures. I can't understand what does the second figure mean?
}
41. Re4 Rd3
{
Diadoco: The second figure corresponds to the number of games played, the smaller number of the number means more games played. A rating with a second lower figure implies that it is more reliable, since it refers to the evaluation of more games.
