| Mar-22-09 | | pinoymaster77: spawn2, pulsar OK thanks for the encouragement, sabak malamang sa March 29 siguro maisama ko rin 2 kids. Naka praktis na konti sa chesscube, will check free trial sa ICC din... |
|
| Mar-22-09 | | pinoymaster77: Di ata sumali GMs Eugene and Jayson sa Barley Rapid sa Gateway Mall, Cubao. Kasama sila sa photo-opts baka kasama sa organizers... saka Eugene di raw komportable sa blitz o maybe pati rapid, sharing ni Master Glenn sa Wes page, kaya di masyado sali ICC tournaments... |
|
| Mar-22-09 | | spawn2: hi pinoy,
Mukhang nirereserve na lang ni GM Eugene time nya for long games. Iba rin kasi yung nahasa sa traditional time control na 2 hours for 40 moves. Di bale, bukas na start ng Battle of the GMs2 sa Dapitan, me pag-uusapan na naman tayo dito sa page. Top two favorites : GM Wesley So - the logical choice, GM Eugene Torre - the sentimental favorite |
|
| Mar-23-09 | | Lemon69: Good day ! Idol ko talaga si Wesley boy ,pero iba pa rin ang experience and wisdom ni GM Torre, actually , we'll have to watch out also on other contenders , lam mo naman ang mga pinoy pag alam na dehado, lalong bumabagsik. |
|
| Mar-23-09 | | pinoymaster77: Ok let the games begin. Pero teka saan ba access tournament skeds? Bukas ba opening, o sana may 1st round game na?

| Mar-23-09 | | spawn2: guys,
I read from chessphi.com that for the April 1 Fide Rating list, it is possible that GM Torre will have a 2561 rating. An improvement of 1 point compared to the December listing. It is to be expected since there was not much tournament available for GM Torre to take part. But with the Battle of the GM2 which will start today and the Asian Invitational and Subic Open in May plus the PGMA Cup and Pichay Cup in the latter part of the year, GM Torre will have the chance to breach the 2600 level. Go for it GM Eugene, it will be a nice icing on the cake of a long and successful career. At 57 years of age, people expects a chess player to retire or retrogress but if you can achieve the 2600 level, you will be a living proof that through focus and dedication a person can continuously improve if he wants to no matter what. Since you only need 39 points, with 4 to 5 possible tournaments where you can participate, the goal is to get at least 8 additional points from each tournament. But if you will be able to duplicate your superb performance in the PGMA Cup (which we know you can) the goal will be easier to reach. Will pray that 2009 will be the year that you breach 2600. |
|
| Mar-24-09 | | pinoymaster77: Any result on the Torre vs Nolte game today? Wes won over Bong per the kabgy in Wes' page. Tomorrow is the D-DAY! 3rd round action in the afternoon is the 'showdown' between El Eugenio, where are you placing your chess bucks? |
|
| Mar-24-09 | | spawn2: hi pinoymaster,
walang balita eh. tinignan ko rin sa chess-result.com wala pa rin. yup, tomorrow Wesley will be in for a fight against Gomez in the morning and GM Eugene in the afternoon. Go Wes!! Go Eugene!! Pakiramdam ko baka mag draw ang dalawang ito kasi malaki ang respeto nila sa isa't isa. Torre will be handling the white pieces this time around. |

| Mar-24-09 | | pinoymaster77: Thanks spawn2 for the point standings after the 1st round. Will lookout for the games today! |
|
| Mar-24-09 | | metrolirot: Good day to all Torre fans out there. Ngayong hapon na and laro na pinakaabangan nating lahat. I was among those really dissapointed when the Torre-So match was cancelled that's why this aternoon's game is eagerly anticipated. Hope that the game would live-up to its billing and both will be playing for a win. My fearless forecast is a Torre win in a protracted end game struggle. With all apology to all the members of Barangay Wesley which includes me.He.he.. |
|
| Mar-25-09 | | spawn2: metrolirot,
pakiramdam ko baka magdraw bro. Malaki respeto nila sa isa't isa at baka maging conservative mga moves. Syempre, pag-draw mas hihintayin natin ang pagtutuos nila sa isang Torre vs So match. Ingat si GM Eugene, yung London System na ginamit nya sa PGMA Cup to beat the Chinese, giniba ni Wes sa laban nila ni GM Bong in 25 moves sa 1sr round. |
|
| Mar-25-09 | | metrolirot: Spawn2, Sana may magpost ng moves sa kanilang game mamaya para meron tayong mapag-usapan at maanalyze kagaya ng ginawa ni Master Glen sa page ni Chairman Wesley. Kahit delayed telecast man lang pwede nang pagtyagaan. |
|
| Mar-25-09 | | pinoymaster77: Yes, sana mag post din moves si Wes thru Icc I think, just like what he did on the JP game. |
|
| Mar-25-09 | | spawn2: Guys,
Mukhang the changing of the guards has finally started. Mali tayo pareho metrolirot. GM Wes won the game. Its time to accept the fact that it is now GM Wesley's time to be the top dog. No disgrace to GM Eugene. Even he, saw this coming that is why he was pushing for chess activities intended for the young. |
|

|
| Mar-25-09 | | RuyLupit: Mga kasama, may nabasa ako na paglabas ng FIDE April list may isang bagong GM tayo (Sanchez) at dalawang bagong IM (Yap at Vuelban). Mabuhay! |
|
| Mar-26-09 | | spawn2: GM Eugene,
Di pa tapos ang laban. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. Naniniwala pa rin kami sa iyong kakayahan. Ratsadahin mo na sa mga susunod na rounds. Good luck!! |
|
| Mar-26-09 | | spawn2: GM Torre,
Congrats on your win against IM Dableo. Your back on track to increasing your elo points. |
|
| Mar-26-09 | | wordfunph: <spawn2> bro why an add'l 1 elo point for GM Eugene's Apr. 2009 list? Wala siyang tourney right? Thanks.. |
|
| Mar-26-09 | | spawn2: Wordfunph,
Yung Gov Aurelio Cup sa Nueva Ecija rated yun, meron yata addtl point nakuha si GM Eugene. Tignan mo yung Chessphi na website nandun mga tournament kung saan me mga elo points sila nakuha. |
|
| Mar-26-09 | | pinoymaster77: Interesting to see next round Wesley vs Joey game. |
