Jan-05-19 | | Viktorerro: Magaling na bata iyan, wordz, malayo ang mararating...sa Bay Area pala nag simula nang paglalaro ng chess ng bata na iyan. Bay Area, ang aking unang stomping ground na parang Kyapo-Sta Cruz-university belt noon'g early, early '90's. From 1990, to be more exact. Napapagawi at nood nood ng mga street chess diyan sa Market Street, ng San Fran. Sa aking humble na pananaw e malayo ang differencia nila'ng dalawa noong isang dati na bata doon sa Bacoor at sa bata na ito na may roots at dna nang tunay na Koreano, pero born, raised, and brought up as true blue American. Sa aking opinyon, malayo'ng malayo na itakwil nito'ng Christophertopher na ito ang kanyang mga Nuno sa Punso, sa ngalan ng ibang Culto de Pataranta Do. Parang Karate Do, lang, Japanese martial arts discipline - ibig ko patungkulin...hehehe. Congrats to the young Christopher, you got a long way to go and climb up to greater heights, in chess. |

Jun-09-19 | | sonia91: <Youngest ever American International Master 12-year-old Christopher Yoo got the third prize at the 7th FIDE World Cup in Composing in section D – endgame studies. Like music composers, chess composers create beautiful studies, just using a board and pieces instead of notes. It’s a fantastic achievement at such a young age as the competition was incredibly strong – many of the world’s best composers took part, including Oleg Pervakov, Steffen Slumstrup Nielsen and Yochanan Afek. The gold medal in this category went to Sergey Didukh from Ukraine. Christopher Yoo: “What I like about chess is the geometry of it. I like the beauty of the game. I like tactics.” https://www.wfcc.ch/wp-content/uplo...> https://www.facebook.com/ChessFIDE/... |
