Untitled[edit]

I have never heard him referred to as Sisniega Campbell. In tournament reports and elsewhere, I see Marcel Sisniega. However, perhaps his name should be Sisniega-Campbell?--Jrm2007 (talk) 10:15, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Torre Relationship and Miscellaneous[edit]

I believe he was taking lessons from Carlos Torre Repetto near the end of the elder player's life. Since Sisniega is said to be the first Mexican GM, I suspect Torre's title was honorary?

I met him in 1975 when he was studying at Sacramento State University (as a 15 year old). I would be interested in reading more about him -- he was obviously a remarkable person who seemed to be successful at whatever he turned his hand to.--Jrm2007 (talk) 05:40, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Birth place[edit]

According to the Enciclopedia de la literatura en México, Marcel Sisniega was born in Chicago. http://www.elem.mx/autor/datos/1021. Other sources have him born in Cuernavaca where he grew up, but I suspect Chicago is correct.

His mother Lola Sisniega nee Campbell is an artist, probably American, but haven't found a RS in English. His brother Ivar Sisniega and daughter Sofia Sisniega are also notable in their respective fields.

Might also be worth including a game or two, he apparently had quite a spectacular attacking style. MaxBrowne (talk) 04:59, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[1] Sofia Sisniega confirms that he was born in Chicago. MaxBrowne (talk) 05:35, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
