Timeline

2007

Since 2007 Leontxo has a regular section (Sundays at 09.20) at the popular programme No es un día cualquiera, with Pepa Fernández, at RNE Radio Nacional.

2000

He's broadcast on several occasions the chess commentaries of the most important tournaments, such as the Ciudad de Linares, Grand Slam Masters Final (Bilbao, Shanghai and São Paulo), World Championship, etc. But his journalist effort goes beyond the game-science; he writes about other sports (suffice it to say that he was special correspondent for El País at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games; that he produced and presented the series Destino Atenas (Destination: Athens) about the 28 olympic sports at Radio Nacional in 2004 and that he wrote a book about Radomir Antić) and international politics. His second specialty sport is handball, and he has covered several World and Europe Championships for El País, Radio Nacional and Agencia Colpisa.

1991

Leontxo ran Jaque magazine for ten years (1991–2001) and has lectured chess in many countries.

1990

He ran and presented En Jaque (In Check), a 39 programmes series broadcast by TVE (1990–91), and produced, with Kasparov, the series La pasión del ajedrez (The passion for chess), containing 64 magazines and 25 videos, at Editorial Salvat (1998–99).

1987

During the World Match Kasparov–Karpov in Seville 1987 he presented 50 special programmes at Televisión Española (TVE) on a daily basis.

1985

From Deia Leontxo went on to Agence France-Presse, Spanish news agency EFE and La Gaceta del Norte, a former Bilbao newspaper; later he worked for the radio network Cadena SER and, finally, for El País (in 1985 he was special correspondent for two and a half months for the second Kasparov-Karpov match, in Moscow, and now he has a daily column at this newspaper) and Radio Nacional de España (1986). During those years he also worked with other media such as Radio Moscow, former magazine El Globo and, later, Argentine newspaper La Prensa.

As chess instructor for the Basque Government (1985), he has experience coaching children and has taught postgraduate chess courses to school teachers.

1975

Leontxo García got into chess relatively late: he learned to play at school, when he was 13, but he didn't start to play seriously until he was 17. In 1975, at age 19, he became the absolute champion of Guipúzcoa and six years later, in 1981, he achieved the FIDE Master title. Later he achieved two International Master norms and everything suggested that he would devote to play chess when he was approached, in 1983, by the Basque newspaper Deia to be the special correspondent at the Kasparov–Korchnoi and Smyslov–Ribli matches (London). It was then when he discovered that his vocation as journalist was even stronger than his vocation as player, and shortly after he stopped participating in chess competitions.
