< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 46 OF 49 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-28-14    epistle: Congratulations to wordfunph for winning at the Quezon Memorial Chess Tournament yesterday! The tiger of San Pedro strikes again! Mar-28-14    pinoymaster77: I've been looking out for any write-up in the major dailies from the 2 remaining sportswriters who feature chess stories, but none so far. The best talaga Joey J, on top sa PH chess developments. Dapat makuha din ng major dailies and sports sites mga articles mo, with the proper fees. Mar-28-14    pinoymaster77: epistle, Do you have pics of those QC battles? May PGN ba Mar-29-14    jhayver: hi po sainyong lahat! Maraming salamat po sa support niyo and sa pagview ng results and games kung nakita niyo po.Swerte lang po kase diko naman hawak ung title up until the last round,nakadepende po laht sa mangyayari sa board 1.should Vidit have won or drawn his game I would just end up 2nd place so luck lang po siguro tlga.anyways tuloy lang po aral,not sure sa next tournament,kase last minute naman kung magsabi ang ncfp,minsan nagsasabi sila pero cancelled din so di kame nakakagawa ng schedule.About the allowance diko na inaasahan na magbago,last sept nung dinegrade nila ko i was even still no. 2 then,and world cup qualifier,and 2nd sa ASIAN continental 2013,and top 5 sa ASIAN continental 2012,then ngaung feb dinegrade n naman kasi walang medal sa SOUTH EAST ASIAN GAMES.Medyo mahirap po tlga kung nakaasa ka lang sa ncfp at psc kasi performance based ata yung ginagawa nila or diko alam kung anu or saang performance nila ibinebased yun.Have plans of campaigning abroad which provides more opportunity and more tournament experience,not to mention possible bigger income.Hirap na po dito kung nakaasa lang,lalo na ngayon wlang medal sa seag,limited na mga tournament ko abroad,tulad nitong kolkata open walang support from ncfp or psc so I have to go there by myself and on my own expenses. Mar-29-14    lakers4sho: <jhayver> Just work hard, the nilaga will come sooner or later. Congratulations for winning the event, bottomline is you ended up 1st and that's all that matters. I expect things to heat up heading into the Olympiad. Good luck! Mar-29-14    wordfunph: <epistle: Congratulations to wordfunph for winning at the Quezon Memorial Chess Tournament yesterday! The tiger of San Pedro strikes again!> thanks sir epistle, katulad sa sinabi ni GM Barbz eh sinuwerte lang din. GM Barbz, oks lang yan. Tiyagain mo lang at darating din yan, good luck sa mga susunod mong torneo. Aasahan ka namin uli sa Olimpiada sa Tromso. Di ko makakalimutan yong panalo mo sa itim against GM Kiril Georgiev noong huling Olympiad. Para kang Ginebra, never-say-die sa vakvakan, paktay kung paktay :) all the best, GM Oliver "Barbwire" Barbosa!

Looks like that is the indicative scenario Mar-30-14    spawn2: GM Barbwire's win in India was featured in Chessbase. Proud to see GM Oliver's name on top of the list with PHI besides his name. Time to reach the 2600 level! Mar-31-14    joeyj: <Oliver Barbosa conquers Kolkata 2014> http://en.chessbase.com/post/oliver... <19th International Open GM Chess Tournament, Kolkata - Filipino GM Oliver Barbosa wins title> http://www.fide.com/component/conte...

Mar-31-14    pinoymaster77: The major intl chess sites carries the Kolkata triumph, but I don't see the major dailies here featuring in their sports pages. Oh, well. Mabuti na lang may social media and joeyj has his chessaccount and a Philboxing contributor. Mar-31-14    pinoymaster77: Today na opening and rd1 of Natl Chess Championships, Elims stage.
