Jan-02-17  bubuli55: Happy New Year! Julio
Jan-20-17  pinoymaster77: 9 events pala pinag Champion ni GM Ino last year! And maganda pa ding buena mano being co-Champ with GM Mac in the recent Chesapeake Open

"For Sadorra — who entered the tournament as the highest rated player at 2703 — the win at the Chesapeake Open marks a continuation of an impressive record of winning in 2016 — a year in which he won first place in no less than nine tournaments.

Sadorra has also been doing well abroad. For instance, he drew against World Champion Magnus Carlsen when Sadorra played him as a member of the Philippine team at the 2016 Chess Olympiad."
