| Jun-07-14 | | RedShield: You should have told him that chess is one of the reasons that Shell remains popular in the country. |

| Jun-07-14 | | pinoymaster77: From text updates from Laguna Coach / Trainer Zeus Orozco, while their sibling/cousin are campaigning in Macau for PHI,Jerick Marino of San Pedro remains at 5/5 having wins over Justine Mordido and Roi Parro, while Eula Dela Cruz of Siniloan has 4/5, along with 3 other Girls (Docena,Tejada,Samarita) who have 4 pts. Only the TOP 2 Boys and TOP 2 Girls will advance to the Natl Finals. Key encounter ni Jerick vs Julius Gonzales (LSGH) in rd6 this am! |

That is an interesting suggestion: ) |
|
| Jun-07-14 | | pinoymaster77: Now that the GM Wes decision is out via the letter posted in Polgar blogspot, most probable na yung Option B na the team is composed of the 'willing and available' Masters. The forthcoming NCC Finals set to start June 19th (if no re-sked due to World Rapid & Blitz) will probably have 4 to 5 slots at stake. Go AFGM Eugene Torre! |

| Jun-08-14 | | epistle: Nasa Megamall ako kanina at napanood ko si AFGM being interviewed on cam. Sa Megamall Powerbooks naman, brand new (nasa plastic pa), in algebraic notation, P100.00 each lang, Chess Fundamentals ni Capablanca (revised & updated by nick de firmian with 14 illustrative games na additional) and The Ideas Behind Chess Openings by Reuben Fine. Meron ding bago, nakaplastic pa na USCF Chess Rules ata, P150.00. |

| Jun-09-14 | | spawn2: GM Wesley So's intention of transfering federation is finally out in the open. I will not comment on whether he is doing the right decision or not since it is his life. He alone will have to face the consequence of his actions whether good or bad. Hopefully, this will make NCFP revisit its overall program in balancing its thrust between discovering new talents and retaining existing ones. Most pressing matter NCFP has to face is the creation of the team for the Tromso Olympiad. It has to check whether the other two seeded players will play (Oli Barbosa and Ino Sadorra) so that it can adjust its strategy. If GM Barbosa also decides to sit this one out, we will miss our no. 1 and no. 3 players in the line-up. My suggestion to NCFP is to select the remaining four (4) and train the team for two (2) months. Am still praying that we see GM Wes' and GM Barbosa (even for the last time) carry the Philippine flag in Norway. |

| Jun-09-14 | | torrefan: <spawn2: GM Wesley So's intention of transfering federation is finally out in the open.> Do you not wonder why it was kept hidden for a year?
<I will not comment on whether he is doing the right decision or not since it is his life. He alone will have to face the consequence of his actions whether good or bad.> Do you not wonder if it was really his decision? Hindi ba kung sino yung putak ng putak siyang nangitlog? Was there no undue influence whatsoever? <Hopefully, this will make NCFP revisit its overall program in balancing its thrust between discovering new talents and retaining existing ones.> Was it really NCFP's fault?
<Most pressing matter NCFP has to face is the creation of the team for the Tromso Olympiad. It has to check whether the other two seeded players will play (Oli Barbosa and Ino Sadorra) so that it can adjust its strategy.> Can't NCFP send us instead? We can beat at least Macau! <If GM Barbosa also decides to sit this one out, we will miss our no. 1 and no. 3 players in the line-up.> But the no.4, Pulsar, is very much alive and kicking! <My suggestion to NCFP is to select the remaining four (4) and train the team for two (2) months.Am still praying that we see GM Wes' and GM Barbosa (even for the last time) carry the Philippine flag in Norway.> BW-GETS need no training! |

| Jun-09-14 | | joeyj: Eugene Torre, another national chess gem after becoming Asia's first chess GM in 1974 and making the quarterfinals of the World Championship Candidates Matches in 1983, for his part, said there's nothing to be sad since the 20-year-old So will be recognized as someone who came from the Phl anyway regardless of his newfound country. "We can't judge him (So) if his ambition is to become a world champion. It's his personal decision, anyway," said Torre. Torre, however, said it's time to give in to So's request. "The best thing to do right now is to agree to his (So) offer to play for the country one last time in the World Chess Olympiad in Tromso, Norway this August and set him free," Torre said. source: http://www.philstar.com/sports/2014... |

| Jun-09-14 | | pinoymaster77: Pero teka - is GM Wes playing for PHI in Tromso still an option? I didn't read it in GM Wes' letter to NCFP Pres. Pichay. It was just a verbiage / comment in the Polgar blogspot - is it still an option, my understanding is its already too late, Wesley is already listed in the US team as Coach as per the news. Nga pala, did PHI submit a line-up to Tromso organizers, if the said June 1st deadline was firm? |
|
| Jun-09-14 | | joeyj: ^^^ Was there a first letter last year? Maybe AFGM was referring to that 1st letter? |
|
| Jun-09-14 | | pinoymaster77: Its in Polgar blog comments, yun nga last year pa yun and dami nang nangyari. Wes' letter was just drafted recently and released, since it states 'World Rapids & Blitz next week', it was just released maybe yesterday. Di talaga pinakinggan, since Wes is 20 years old, better to have the 'father and son' talk with his benefactor Butch Pichay. Ok din yung letter, but have they talked already ? |

| Jun-09-14 | | SugarDom: sabi ni aling susing di daw nya alam kung magpapalit ng barangay si bata. sinungaling tong ale na eto, no? :) |
|
| Jun-09-14 | | Iskubadayb: Yan ang salita ng isang magandang pinuno! Lahat na salitang binitawan ni bradidik ay perpekto. Kaya bilib ako dyan e. Pag nilapitan ka ng player mo na gusto nyang lumipat, done deal na yan. Sa ayaw mo o sa gusto mo e palitadingski na yan. Ang kontrolado mo lang e maging madugo ba ito o maging swabe. Pag di talaga tumakbo itong si bradidik sa paging pangulo ng chess sa atin e maghurementado ako. :) |
|
| Jun-09-14 | | Iskubadayb: Kap, good to see you. :) |
|
| Jun-09-14 | | Iskubadayb: Ang pagpapatakbo ng opisina ay parang laro din ng chess. Tingnan ang posisyon at timbangin ang bawat kilos. Sa kiniloos ng ncfp ay OKLAK lahat. Olats ang opis, ang mga Pinoy, si Wes, ang uscf at pati na rin ang fide. Kung sumangayon sila sa request ni bata ay panalo lahat! Malaki pa ang leverage nila sa uscf. Pwede silang magsabit ng konisyones na magpadala ng players sa Pinoy torneo, atbp. |

| Jun-09-14 | | SugarDom: si aling susing na din nagkwento na dati siyang rebelde sa pederasyun nila sa Hungeria, syempre sinulsulan si bata. |

| Jun-09-14 | | pinoymaster77: Article on the Shell NCR leg concluded last weekend, next would be the Batangas City leg June 22-23 : http://www.philstar.com/sports/2014... |
|
| Jun-09-14 | | pinoymaster77: joeyj,
Yun nga ang basa ko, wala na yung option to play for PHI in Tromso, already too late, citing the June 1 deadline. Yun na lang (longshot), Wesley and Pres. Pichay have to talk it over DIRECTLY. |

| Jun-09-14 | | SugarDom: https://ph.news.yahoo.com/american-... American NBA Blatche a proud 'Filipino'
Life is Ironic. |
|
| Jun-09-14 | | joeyj: This is the win-win solution GM Eugene Torre, the Philippines’ longtime chess pillar, sees in the aftermath of So’s announcement that he is relinquishing his Filipino citizenship to hasten his development as a chess player and make a decent living in the US. “If So plays for the country in Norway, he will not appear ungrateful,” said Torre. “The NCFP, on the other hand, will not appear as a hindrance to So’s development as a player and as a person.” Read more: http://sports.inquirer.net/155436/w...

| Jun-10-14 | | Kurakotsaba: <SugarDom: sabi ni aling susing di daw nya alam kung magpapalit ng barangay si bata.> Sabihin natin sa mga Marino, - pero sandali lang 'di ba naglalayag ka sa barko as we speak?, - okay, tell na lang natin ito sa mga Marines station on board the BRP-57 Sierra Madre - doon sa Barangay Ayungin shoal sa WPS. <sinungaling tong ale na eto, no? :)> SugarDom: si aling susing na din nagkwento na dati siyang rebelde sa pederasyun nila sa Hungeria, syempre sinulsulan si bata.> Para'ng iyong president lang jan sa Palasyo jan sa mabaho na Estero de Pasig - wala ng ginawa kundi mag sino nang mag sino wala naming galing - kundi magsinungaling...mag sulsol sa mga garapal na kongresmen/honorables na mga magnanakaws na senators - kaya ang Proceso ay 'di mag Prospero para mapanagot mga Ka-Alyado at mapagtakpan ang kanilang mga marka-hinlalaki sa Iskandalo ng mga Bilyon-bilyon'g nakawan. NCFP, hindi ka nag iisa, kaya bahala kang mag isa harapin ang mga multo... Hi, Wesley, galing dito sa 'Tate, 'no? Enjoy the fun. |
