| | pinoymaster77: Regarding Region IV o dating Southern Tagalog Region (Rizal towns and Laguna/Cavite before?) which was widened to CALABARZON (was this coined during FVR's time) to include the progressive provinces, eh maybe it can also be traced to our natl hero Rizal reportedly also being a malufet na chess master during his time. I can hear in Gov ER Ejercito's speeches/talks that Rizal was a fencer and shooter, but one of these days when I get a chance I will also point out that he was also a chess master... Rizal's novels also featured the 'lawa' which I think is the Laguna de Bay... Filipinos have that inherent 'chess skill'. Im not sure if related to the
'national sport' (before?) of dama.
Jasper's lolo was a dama champion...
I saw some mean chess players from Sta Cruz and Siniloan during this STCAA 2012 journey... |

| | pinoymaster77: Ok, part of routine is to check major chess sites regularly and may new entry sa chess-results.com, GM Barbosa has entered the fray in HD Open, seeded 5th siya sa ngayon... I have mixed feelings about this, it means he has to maintain maybe at least 80% performance to have net gain from this tournament... http://www.chess-results.com/tnr655...
Any other Pinoy GMs to follow suit? |
|
Feb-26-12
 | | spawn2: Thanks for the heads-up <pm77>. Am wondering kung bakit paisa isa dagdag ng pinoy participants. Looking forward to the names of GMs Eugene, Joey in the line-up. GM Wes will definitely skip this one with his mano-a-mano match up with GM Meier coming up. |

| Mar-01-12 | | metrolirot: Good day guys!! It's good to know na may laro na naman ang mga idols natin. Back to back pa. After the Vietnam tourney is the match of GM Wesley, may pagkakalibangan na naman tayo. Last Monday Casto Abundo, Asian Deputy President accompanied by GM Jayson Gonzales visited Davao City for ocular inspection as Davao City is bidding to host an International tourney this year. After making a courtesy call to our mayor Inday Sarah Duterte, a brief press con followed after which we proceeded to Jack's Ridge Restaurant to have dinner. While drinking ice cold San Mig light with tuna kinilaw as pulutan, I and my fellow Davao chess addicts were entertained, mesmerized and delighted by Toti Abundo's numerous chess stories about Fischer's 1974 RP visit of which he served as guide/driver for almost a month, the Karpov-Kasparov match, the Kasparov-Korchnoi match, the Campo-Balinas feud, Eugene Torre, and more. It was as if we were talking to Campo himself. He was like an encyclopedia of chess and he was narrating to us mostly from personal knowledge and from Campo's personal accounts. I was thinking to my self, Wow, this guy is a very lucky guy. He was at the right place at the right time when chess history was made and earning money at that. An executive friend who was there keeps on saying " Direct from the horse mouth!!" when Toti would answer our various querries. I will share some of his chess anecdotes next time. Happy sleeping... |
|
| Mar-01-12 | | Iskubadayb: Ahhh, Toti. A very nice man. We had some fun times. It's nice to hear that he's doing fine. I wonder if he ever got married. Toti seemed busy all the time. He's always off to do something. He's the best in the world in making swiss pairings before the chess programs. Sometimes, it really gets difficult to pair players when colors don't match and the top field have mostly played each other, and the number is not even. He finds the best way! And you will know about it because he'd be so excited and tell you about it like he just won the lottery. Come to think of it, he probably did it better than the programs. It seems like the NFCP has no shortage of funds. This is really good for the players. I wish them good tactics. :) |
|
| Mar-01-12 | | pulsar: <metrolirot> Good to see you kibitzing! I look forward to more kwentos. Pag dumayo ako sa Davao, pwede ba magpa-ampon? :)
Seriously, kelan ang target niyo para sa Davao tourney? |
