JANELLE MAE FRAYNA
(born May-19-1997, 28 years old) Philippines

[what is this?]

Women's GM(1) Frayna received this title in September of 2016. After 9 (of 13 total) rounds, she met (eventual tournament winner) Dinara Saduakassova at the World Junior Championship (Girls) (2016), holding at the top score group throughout until Paula Andrea Rodriguez Rueda delivered her her first loss. She finished with 8.5/13 points, enough for share of 4th-8th overall (or 5th when factoring in tie-breaks). Frayna played top board for the Philippines' 2016 women's Olympiad team(4).

Jul-20-14  pinoymaster77: Bobby Ang's article :

http://www.bworldonline.com/content...

Jul-20-14  resty: Arya, mga PINAY!!!!
Jul-27-14  pinoymaster77: In the guesting at AKSYON SPORTS in Radio5 earlier this pm, WIM Jodilyn Fronda agrees the 2014 Olympiad team is the strongest formed in years, and that the team can improve on their 2012 finish in Istanbul, GO PINAYS GO !
Jul-27-14  pinoymaster77: Wow +164 !! si WIM Frayna from the recent 2014 BOGM / NCC Finals, sirit sya to around 2297 for FIDE Aug rating, not sure kung aabot pa Tromso Olympiad results (baka for Sept na)..

http://ratings.fide.com/individual_...

Jul-27-14  spawn2: Might be better na mababa rating pards pagpasok sa Tromso para pagnanalasa eh mas malaki kamig na elo.
Jul-27-14  pinoymaster77: Baka pala umabot etong +164, kasi by Aug 1 may update na ulit ang FIDE ratings.

Pero sana mag base pa din ang Tromso sa July FIDE ratings kung magkagayon...

Aug-01-14  pinoymaster77: Sana makuha na agad mga bagahe nila WIM Fronda, WNM Bernales and GM Jay !

Ang nasa chess-results.com just now eh ranked 43rd na womens team, and total teams listed eh 137 so ang 'median' eh 68.

Ang country # 111 eh Zambia, and nasa #110 eh Yemen and 112 eh Palau

Aug-01-14  torrefan: <pinoymaster77: Sana makuha na agad mga bagahe nila WIM Fronda, WNM Bernales and GM Jay !>

Four straight days na nilang suot ang kanilang underwears. That is bad news for their first round opponents.

Aug-01-14  norami: Four straight days na wearing any underwear? What's that supposed to mean?
Aug-04-14  pinoymaster77: Nakuha naman daw bagahe nila the following day ng arrival nila sa Tromso.

By the way WIM-Elect Frayna has 2 WGM norms na pala, and WIM-Elect Fronda has 1. It seems dun din sa ASEAN Age Group in Macau eh in winning the STANDARD GOLD, may WGM norm din?

Wonder how many points needed in 9 games sa Tromso to get the double WGM norms?

Aug-04-14  pinoymaster77: Nice recovery by WIM-Elect Frayna, she had BIG EDGE in the opening which was lost, then she fell behind, and have to REPLAY the game on how she salvaged the draw!

NICE 2-2 TIE vs the 8th seeded Poland team !

Aug-04-14  pinoymaster77: Replayed the game, mukhang well drilled sa rook and pawns endgames si WIM-Elect Frayna, next ay mga Espanol !
Aug-09-14  pinoymaster77: Nakabawi shutout vs UAE kagabi then just won over Egypt 3-1 to wheel back to the eyed decent finish :

http://www.philstar.com/sports/2014...

Aug-14-14  resty: Congrats, Janelle for being the second top scorer of the Philippine Women's Team! Clap! Clap!
Aug-16-14  joeyj: Congratulations Janelle Mae Frayna on your brand new title ... WIM !!!

http://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?...

http://ratings.fide.com/title_appli...

Aug-24-14  pinoymaster77: Isang WGM norm na lang, buwelo muna sa pahinga after Olympiad then catch up sa FEU studies. Sana matuloy sponsor for the World Juniors !

Tapos may 2 PSC Intl events dito na calendared for Nov, sana MATULOY !

Sep-17-14  pinoymaster77: Dun sa on-going 11th IGB Dato Arthur Tan Malaysia Open 2014, while browsing again after 5 rounds eh noticed Phil current Jr champ WFM Marie Antoinette San Diego upset WIM Frayna in rd3. Disastrous for WIM Janelle's ELO, so far -58 naka indicate (may 3 losses eh) while WFM San Diego is +58 so dar after 5 games.

IM Haridas Pascua is very ok at 4.5/5 with TPR > 2600 but hasnt faced a GM so far, eh sa rd6 bangga vs Indian GM Sundar na tumalo kay top seeded GM Zhang Zhong in rd 5 IM Yap's campaign for GM norm malabo, incurred loss pa to Spore youngster FM Tin Jingyao. IM Dableo just +4 so far, malayo pa din to 2500 :

http://www.chess-results.com/tnr145...

Sep-19-14  pinoymaster77: WIM Frayna somewhat recovered with a rd6 win over an unrated Malaysian and next faces Indon WFM Novita Anjas.

WFM San Diego lost to GM Jayson in rd6.

Sep-25-14  pinoymaster77: Naka rest na siguro somewhat after return from Malaysia, catch up muna sa studies.

Next event reportedly eh World Juniors, sana maganda preparations. Last I looked at the participants list, papasok sana Janelle sa top 25 ranking, pero dunno with latest ratings dip. Reportedly, lalaro din WIM Fronda and Natl Jrs champ WFM Marie Antoinette San Diego.

Oct-06-14  pinoymaster77: Ang atin namang 3 Girl bets eh eto ka pairing sa round 1 ng WJCC 2014 :
