| Joshka: Another reason why Bobby wants to play the match in Manila, is I'm sure Torre must live near there. Also I've read that his daughter Jinko lives with her mother in Manila. Although I hear now from <Manuel G Veraga> who lives up North in the Baguio City area, that this area has a much better climate. |

| gebeck: can anyone please tell us -- both IM Roland Salvador and Vuelban got 6.5 out of a possible 9 in the Arco Chess
Italy. Did Salvador got a GM Norm since he played the required 3 GM?
What about Vuelban did he get a norm?
Thanks so much!!!

| wouldpusher: <Asia's first Grandmaster> Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Russia also part of Asia? If so, there are a lot of other Asian grandmasters before him. Maybe <South East Asia's first grandmaster> is more appropriate. |

| Manic: <wouldpusher> I guess you would consider Russia part of Asia but as a country it's considered more of a European country than an Asian country, evidenced by their inclusion in many European associations (soccer for example) and also their connections, which are generally more to do with western countries than Asian ones. Part of west Russia is part of Europe and I think Moscow is in that area. So I think that although geographically Russia is more of an Asian country it is considered mainly European. |

| spawn2: Hey Eugene Torre fans, our idol has been showing good form lately. Hope we can use this site to give him encouragement so that he can continue to improve on his way to again manning Board 1 for the philippine team to dresden. All I have been reading lately is all about wesley. Dont get me wrong, I love the kid and hope that someday, he will man the top board for our philippine team. But as long as El Eugenio is still around, he should lead our team in the olympiad. Glenn Bardonada is kibitzing at Wesley So's profile page. I will drop him a line so that he can inform Eugene to visit this site so that Eugene can read our comments. |

| rjsolcruz: GM Torre is our country's oldest GM, at 56, if I am not mistaken. But his performance of late has been just a notch short of phenomenal since that is now attributed to GM Wesley So, RP #1 rank and winner of RP's Battle of GMs. Going back to GM Torre, he ws 2nd behind GM Wesley in the Battle of GMs and I think was 2nd or 3rd in the Subic Open. Are these sign of old age?
If the Olympiad is just a one man team, then by all means, send GM Wesley there. But it's a 4 or 6 man event. Please reconsider, I don't intend to downgrade those who played and won in the so-called Olympiad Try-outs, but as The Star chess columnist says, "Let's Play Chess." We need GM Torre in the team, kahit pang Board 4.

| Karpov2985: With his age and still in the top ten, I'm impressed with him. With the arrival of many young players due to the advance in computer chess games, I salute him on how he is still can be competitive. That's dedication and discipline! |

| spawn2: Well done GM Torre. By drawing with GM Joey on your recent match, your were able to show Filipinos that you still have the talent, desire and perseverance to play with the best. Enjoy your much deserved vacation in the U.S. with your family |

| fictionist: <rjsolcruz> I agree with his inclusion in the team. But I think he would be happy now to represent the country again (and again)and be content with short draws. Why not send someone younger? |
