EUGENIO TORRE
(born Nov-04-1951) Philippines

[what is this?]
Eugenio Torre was born in Iloilo City, the Philippines, on November 4, 1951, and with the possible exception of Mark Paragua, is considered to be the strongest Filipino chess player ever. Awarded the IM title in 1972, Torre quickly ascended the ranks, and has the distinction of being the first Asian to earn the title of International Grandmaster. He accomplished the feat at the age of 22 while he won a silver medal at the 21st World Chess Olympiad held in Nice, France in 1974. Torre has been a veteran of the World Chess Olympiad for three decades and led the Philippine team to a 7th place finish at the 1988 Greece Olympiad. He also has a collection of three Olympiad silver medals.

He beat Anatoli Karpov in Manila in 1976, one of Karpov's few losses during his championship reign. Torre qualified for the Candidates round in 1984 but lost to Zoltan Ribli. It is well-known that he was a friend of Robert James Fischer and he acted as a member of his team during Fischer's 1992 match against Boris Spassky. Torre later conducted radio interviews with Fischer on Bomba Radio of the Philippines.

Jul-02-09   pinoymaster77: epistle, thanks for the notes on the Juniors field...
Jul-02-09   pinoymaster77: jpcsacristan,

If its ok saang school ka attend. Kasi magandang path mapagsabay 'chess career' sa studies is to be a varsity player, in this way masuportahan ng school ang schedules and logistics mo.

Based on your reply, will base some suggestions.

I just read the article in the Malibay chess site on the Phils' current top juniors na puede ka ring mag join pretty soon, but getting official ELO points means participating in standard chess tournaments which take days (like the GMA,Pichay Cups, major NCFP tourneys).
which is not feasible for an ordinary student.

Pero kung varsity player, the school
would make accomodations/adjustments.

Jul-02-09   pinoymaster77: chessmates, Im talking about this article from rusticbull's Malibay site (wala pa diyan yun other notables like Mariano III, Salgados, Bitag,Medina, FEU players) :

With 15-year old GM Wesley So – at present the world’s No.1 Under-16 player – out of the picture, Jan Emmanuel Garcia stands to be the country’s top junior player based on the July 1, 2009 rating list released by FIDE.

(Note: By the way, I’m confused as to the age-category of Garcia. He already played in the Juniors Division at the 17th Shell National Youth Active Chess Championships. But he played – and emerged champion – in the recently concluded Palmdale Chess in the Kiddies Division.)

Gaining 20 Elo points from his April 2009 rating, Garcia pole-vaulted to upper half of the country’s Top 100 players at No.48 with a current rating of 2312.

Next to Garcia at No.51 is FIDE Master Haridas Pascua who lost 49 Elo points from his April 2009 mark. Pascua is now 2.0 Elo points shy off Garcia at 2310.

If my age-categorization is correct, below is the list of the country’s junior players who made it to the RP Top 100 as of July 1, 2009:

No.48 Jan Emmanuel Garcia 2312
No.51 FM Haridas Pascua 2310
No.67 Paulo James Florendo 2262
No.68 Karl Victor Ochoa 2261
No.88 Sheider Nebato 2202 (reigning RP juniors champ) No.89 Richilieu Salcedo 2194
No.98 Alcon John Datu 2173
No.99 John Ranel Morazo 2172
