| Sep-09-12 | | allan.dinglasan: Now lang ako bukas laptop. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!!! |
|
| Sep-09-12 | | bubuli55: Congratz! Enjoyed the games. Made us proud. Safe travels. |
|
| Sep-09-12 | | spawn2: Good night guys!
Bilang uli ng araw hanggang 2014 Tromso Norway. Balik kayod sa trabaho. Tama ka bro <bubuli5> we really enjoyed the the games! |
|
| Sep-09-12 | | geniokov: Congratz Team Philippines! We are proud of you! |
|
| Sep-09-12 | | 321ycnay: Congrats to team Pilipinas! Under the circumstances, we have overachieved and were well rewarded.
Time to count our blessing... well documented here na! I am hoping for the next olympiade to make room for a GM Sadorra, every time I get the feeling that our team's overall play has turned stale his name comes to mind. Anybody who has followed his games and his wins in the very recent BOGM should know that this new GM of RP can be a big contributor for a future Olympiade team... he can be the "Ding Liren" for team Pilipinas in the future. Just my opinion.
Likewise, if we consider upgrading our ability to manage each player's freshness through time management, we will have addressed a major concern for our team's weaknesses and needs. Congrats to all the players, the management, and the whole of the NCFP. Great result this time... flexibility is the key!
Let us not be content on this one... we now have realized that our team can really be competitive out there... a world beater! There is no need, therefore; to use the Olympiade to neither earn GM norms nor use it as the theatre to prove one’s agenda is better than others. Go Pinas! |

| Sep-09-12 | | pinoymaster77: Good pm,
Yup, a lot to be thankful for.
It was not meant to be, I mean for a top 10 finish to come that easily.
We have to labour for it harder in the next Olympiads. Many surprises and lessons learned Im sure which can be applied to the next Olympiads moving forward. Ok yung mix na 3 qualifiers plus 2 seeded to balance it out on having a competitive team and give an open shot for aspiring players. Only that the finals like the BOGM be done 2 to 3 months earlier, so that there is more time for team bonding, exercises/camp for conditioning/stamina, and even a rigid training program for 'Olympiad neophyte'. As I've sms to spawn2, even Pansol2 is in order considering what AFGM went through and performed thru it all. Request ko lang eh magkaroon ng informal portion na 'question and answer'. Now, some of it can be told, during the thanksgiving dinner for AFGM at Gateway Mall where spawn2,Regge & Dari were in attendance, for a better finish team Philippines needed to score a major upset. Over quote nga, since the team upset Moldova,Bulgaria and England! Aside from shutting out the Kazakhs and winning over Iceland, and scoring a draw vs top rated Hungary could also be considered an upset. The team gave us many exciting times and lit up our enthusiasm further for this game of chess! Let's BUILD on this! |
|
| Sep-09-12 | | pinoymaster77: Per Olympiad site, Armenia emerged as champion, beating out Russia in the tiebreaks... this is now their 3rd time to become Olympiad champs! http://www.chessdom.com/armenia-is-... |
|
| Sep-09-12 | | spawn2: 21st place ang Pinas tulad ng 21st appearance ni GM Eugene: ) We were seeded 35th and we were 50th last Olympiad in Khanty. Well done Team Philippines! |
|
| Sep-09-12 | | spawn2: On the next few days..we will dissect our performance vs the others in terms of strength of opposition. |
|
| Sep-09-12 | | desertfox: Congrats to new WIM Janelle Mae Frayna!!! |

|
| Sep-09-12 | | Megadeth: We could have matched the 7th place ranking (1988 Greece) if we have beaten Romania (due to superior tie break with Vietnam). Pero iba naging ending, muntik na. What if lang.. Still Congrats PHIL Team!

| Sep-09-12 | | 321ycnay: We did pretty well, didn’t we? AFGM, GM Wesley, GM Barbosa, GM Mark and IM Dimakiling did us proud. Owning an Olympiade record of 21 consecutive appearances, courtesy of the Rock, GM Eugene, is something we Pinoys shall cherish for a while. Only thing that left a mild dissatisfaction was how our team limped off to the tape too fatigued to hold on to our early gain. Philippine chess us in good hands though, so no worries that this will not be properly addressed. |
|
| Sep-09-12 | | Megadeth: <321ycnay> Yes we did great indeed. a lot of things to be grateful of. I can see a great and bright future for Phil. Chess. |

eksakli. Salamat! |
|
| Sep-09-12 | | pinoymaster77: Yup, the consolation is inspite of the short (or actually kanya-kanyang prepa)
preparation time, no team activities
and not up-todate hardware/software for majority of our young GMs eh nakapalag ang team and nakasabay for awhile and ambushed some chess giants in the process!More on this later, on how we can possibly build on this and IMPROVE
to the next level... |

| Sep-09-12 | | geniokov: So NCFP,What´s next stop? Is there any big tournament so that our Chessplayers have a continues program? |

Susan Polgar: Not sure why my last post did not publish. The RP team won bronze in category B. Torre was the only player on stage to receive the cup. Perhaps the bus did not arrive for others. But it was good seeing him on stage representing the Philippines. The crowd roared for him :) Will publish pictures soon at www.ChessDailyNews.com |

< GM Susan Polgar >Thank you so much for that news about GM Eugene Torre. It's good that the other chess players acknowledge and appreciate his achievements and contributions to the game. There is no greater recognition when coming from his own peers. We are very proud and happy for him. Thanks again :) |
|
| Sep-09-12 | | pinoymaster77: Good am,
Now, that BRONZE in Group B is another one to be THANKFUL for, thanks be to God! Congratulations to our teams and NCFP for giving it their best Kelan ang Pansol2 or next dinner? |
|
| Sep-09-12 | | pinoymaster77: Next tournament ay KL Open which starts next week I think Sept 17, about 17 to 18 Pinoys registered headed by GM Barbosa (2nd seed) and gmjoey (3rd seed). GM Wes probably goes back to US to resume his studies na, all the best to him in North America ! |
|
| Sep-09-12 | | spawn2: Hope our sports writers will concentrate/dwell on the triumphs garnered by this over achieving Team. Bang is right in what he wrote in his column today, this team really worked hard for the country. May I remind everyone that we were seeded 35th and coming from 50th place in last Olympiad. Placing 21st for me should be considered a great achievement. It's not only the result but the way the Team faced stronger oppositions from rd 6 onwards. |
