Dear Editor,

The contribution to the published article "Neurology, psychiatry and the chess game"[1] was extremely rich, and it was very interesting to learn more about the life of the Mexican chess player Carlos Torre[2]. Due to space limitations, we were unable to include many personalities, such as the one mentioned, in our manuscript. Also, in Brazil, one of the greatest chess players of all time, Henrique Costa Mecking, better known as "Mequinho", was a leading exponent of the game, having reached third place worldwide, behind Anatoly Karpov and Viktor Korchnoi, in 1977. He was diagnosed with a neurological disease - myasthenia gravis - and had to withdraw from tournaments in 1978.

We are delighted and thankful for the valuable contribution of the letter by Jimenez-Ruiz and colleagues. It was a pleasure to know about the fascinating history of Carlos Torre.
