Sabagay, nauubos na yung elo nya sa mga blunders, eh.

That's why I would like So to stay with Polgar because she is giving him a clear direction on what to do. This is despite all of these controversies that are happening.

For current NCFP leadership, they're trying to do something more, within the limits of their resources.

For the 2016 elections kaya sinusuri din possible candidates eh 'will NCFP improve' or more of the same? What I don't agree on is the main consideration on change seems to be on the release of GM Wes or not. If a candidate runs for the prexy, it has to be for the benefit of the whole Philippine chess community.

Let's reserve it for 2015 when the timing is right.

In round 5, FM N.Villanueva upset GM JP while NM Emperado (Campo Cup Challenger champ) eh on a roll with successive wins over GMs Laylo and Bitoon! Ilonggo Edsel Montoya naman stopped FM Villanueva to stay at 5/5 with NM Emperado. 3rd 5-pointer is NM(?) Salubre. Mas matinding bakbakan pa in the last 4 rounds :

Si NM Macacuna Macala ba si Allan Macala who used to play in Mmla events some years back? Napanood ko sa Pichay o GMA Cup eh super kunatsky, and opening with white eh d3 o e3, iba sa sya dun sa NM Makikano na Vismin player?

Yup, Edsel eh RTU graduate and since understated ang ELO nya, favorite sya as Board 3 o 4 player pag team event, pero FM/IM strength sya.

PYG, Kap thinks that just be reciting this oath, 70% of the players would comply due to fear of God, what do you think ?

ANTI GAME-FIXING MEASURES FOR COMMERCIAL CHESS LEAGUE

The CHESS PLAYER honor oath.
(To be recited at the commencement of the tournament day)

Raise your right hand.

I am a chess player.

I am an honorable person.

I will not lie, cheat or fix games nor tolerate any among us who does. I will not pre-arrange game results.
I promise to do my best in every game and to conduct myself most sincerely. I believe in God who sees and knows everything I do and even without God, I believe in Truth, Honesty and Fair Play.

This is my honor oath. May I suffer the consequences if I break my oath. May I receive punishment if I am untrue to myself.

<pinoymaster77: Meantime for the OPEN tournaments, eh sharing the annual 'Mindanao Open' which is dubbed this year as the Cotabato Centennial Chess Championship, champion's purse is PhP 60K. In round 5, FM N.Villanueva upset GM JP while NM Emperado (Campo Cup Challenger champ) eh on a roll with successive wins over GMs Laylo and Bitoon! Ilonggo Edsel Montoya naman stopped FM Villanueva to stay at 5/5 with NM Emperado. 3rd 5-pointer is NM(?) Salubre. Mas matinding bakbakan pa in the last 4 rounds :

Checked the NCFP site (ncf-phil.org), this 2481 is indeed indicated as GM JP's NCFP rating as of June 1, 2014.

But his FIDE ELO is indeed > 2500.

Malamang unpopular yan sa adult players and even Kiddies' parents, while sa chess fans eh skeptical, kagaya ko at first.

No harm done if organizers and NCFP would adopt such oath, plus other measures.

Nito lang sa BOGM diumano may OTB nego na dinig ng katabing board, while sa NATIONAL AGE GROUP eh there were 3 protests filed with 2 admissions, but I think NCFP treated with kid gloves, nakalaro pa din for Pinas yung isang player, while yung isa didn't qualify.
