| Jul-27-13 | | pinoymaster77: Indonesian delegation made some heads turn in the recent Biel festival. Their touted womens star 16-yr old Warda Aulia Medina who ambushed a Russian GM, projected to be WGM Sukandar's successor, so soon... AFGM's pal GM Utut (still Senator?) also saw action after awhile... http://susanpolgar.blogspot.com/201... |
|
| Jul-28-13 | | spawn2: Hmm Sen Adianto playing..baka in prep for a tourney before 2013. |
|
| Jul-29-13 | | pinoymaster77: Posible kaya that Sen/GM Utut is considering to play for his country again in the Olympiad? Over the years kasi wala nang ibang pang SuperGM caliber na makasama si Mega? Kung magkaganun aba eh sana or dapat lang magkita pa sila sa 2014 Olympiad? Ahehe, baka too advanced thinking naman I guess AFGM can ask during the Indonesia Open coming soon, around Oct... |
|
| Jul-29-13 | | geniokov: Why not AFGM and Sen.Utut Adianto arrange an exhibition match between "China vs ASEAN" any ideas? Maybe bro.spawn can mention this to AFGM! |
|
| Jul-29-13 | | geniokov: The powerhouse of China like Wang Hue,Wang Hao,Ding Liren etc will be match up against our ASEAN Pride like Wesley So, Le Quang Liem,GM Ngoc Truong Son,Zang zhung of Singapore,Megaranto etc! Things are all pattern to "USSR vs ROW". The difference is that they will play including rapid and blitz matches aside from 4 standard games. AFGM surely knows about this. |
|
| Jul-29-13 | | geniokov: Each teams consist of 10 or 12 players! Magandang promotion din ito. |
|
| Jul-29-13 | | spawn2: <geniokov>
There was an Indonesia vs ROW sometime late 90's. It was part of the preparation of GM Utut Adianto for the World Cup. I will need to get my copy of B. Ang's Inside Philippine Chess Book 1 to give the membersd of both teams. |
|
| Jul-29-13 | | pinoymaster77: Kagagawa lang nitong 'China vs ASEAN' for youth hosted in China I think just last week, Alekhine Nouri got a bronze medal as posted in his CG page. Well, then since China is receptive to this set-up of a match, eh why not apply to their TOP adult Masters. Pero kung 10 players baka kulangin ang ASEAN ng top caliber player na makakasabay, maybe 5 players for ASEAN would be more realistic... |
|
| Jul-29-13 | | geniokov: This would be very interesting match "China vs ASEAN". Let me say that China will look stronger when it comes to ELO comparison but in reality,i think di ganun kadaling talunin ang ASEAN team. China's top players like GM Wang Yue,Wang Hao,Li Chao cannot easily make a point against GM Wesley So, Lie Quang Liem, Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son. Pwedeng makapuntos sila sa lower board pero ubos din ang mga good reserves ng China. |
|
| Jul-29-13 | | geniokov: Kung "China vs ROA"(rest of Asia) malamang superior naman ang ROA dahil makakasama ang India with Sasikiran,Harikrishna,Gupta,Negi and some from former USSR like Filipov,And some from Turkmenistan,Kirgistan etc. |

PRE-SEA Games Chess Tournament 2013 July 29-Aug. 5, 2013 Zebuthiri Hotel, Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar |

| Aug-06-13 | | allan.dinglasan: <Spawn>, Oleg Romanishin - Eugenio Torre. Brussel Swift, 1986- 121 moves, 1/2-1/2
Was this the longest game played by GM Torre? |
|
| Aug-06-13 | | spawn2: <allan d>
it seems his game against GM Romanishin is the longest. The famous Torre vs Polugaevsky Knight endgame in Toluca reached 100 moves. Another game with GM Bali in their Match (not sure whether it was in the first or second) reached almost 100 moves. |
|
| Aug-07-13 | | pinoymaster77: Yung mga recent endgames panalo ni AFGM sa Asian Games & Olympiads parang di naman umabot ng 100 moves ano? Meron yata over 80moves... Maybe after his 'retirement' we can actually see an endgame chessbook sana from AFGM? |
|
| Aug-09-13 | | spawn2: BOGM is still a month away. Hopefully GM Torre can squeeze some training in his very hectic sched. New sets of qualifiers from the Semi will test the skills of our GMs. |
|
| Aug-10-13 | | spawn2: Gilas Pilipinas showed what a fighting heart can do. Hope our three (3) chess warriors (So, Barbosa, Paragua) in Tromso, Norway got inspired with the win and play the best chess they can dish out starting tomorrow. Laban Pinas..Puso!! |
|
| Aug-11-13 | | allan.dinglasan: <Spawn2>
Thanks and I am looking forward for another good run of GM Torre this upcoming BOGM! |
|
| Aug-11-13 | | pinoymaster77: President PNoy's statement draws inspiration from the Gilas feat and encourages Pinoys to EXCEL, from GM Wes in the World Cup, to our Pinoys in Malaysia, for the next 2014 Olympiad, in our work and forthcoming projects of the ETCF ! “Gilas Pilipinas has shown the world that no one can outsize the heart of the Filipino. May their performance inspire every Filipino to relentlessly pursue excellence, no matter what field they find themselves in, so that, together, we may fulfill our shared aspiration of a Philippine nation greater than ever before.” http://www.interaksyon.com/interakt... |

| Aug-14-13 | | Deadlost: world senior championship in November this year.Wish GM Torre joins - he can
win it.... |
|
| Aug-14-13 | | spawn2: <Deadlost>
I believe GM Eugene has his eye on the coming BOGM this September and the Indonesian Open come October. Hopefully his schedule permits that he plays in the World Seniors. |

Looking at the participants, medyo malakas ang field ng Executive Tourney sa 24. Mapapalaban si nanobrain and atty roy. Although I would like to join just to be with chess friends and to meet new friends, me conflict sa sched. Hopefully sa next run I can join and experience getting massacred over the chess board: ) For tonight's game if GM Wes opens with e4, am expecting to see a long struggle in the Ruy Lopez. Go for the win GM Wes! |
|
| Aug-15-13 | | pinoymaster77: Hi spawn2,
Noted the initial feeling out for the Exec chess revival. Sana may makasama pa sila Atty's nano and Roy, saka matuloy si Dennis. Sana si puling masamahan sila... |
|
| Aug-15-13 | | spawn2: The journey for GM Wes does not end with the World Cup. There is still the World Juniors to aspire for. Hope he participates and give it his best shot to get the belt that has eluded the best Filipino chess warriors. |
