Aug-01-11  pinoymaster77: Heard over DZSR Sports Radio program that vonvon shared you're still here with wife the former (WIM?) Lilibeth Lee and your daughter is going into some recording here? (a singer?)

Also since World Juniors starts tomorrow in Chennai and Phils has been off for a few years, that the best finish over was way back in 1991 when you bagged the bronze then (in Rumania?). Asian Juniors champ in 1989 and 1991!

Jan-23-12  wordfunph: happy birthday GM Barce!

During the Week 7 match between Dallas and Arizona, in the Board One game between GM Julio Sadorra and GM Rogelio Barcenilla there was a severe rules violation committed by the eventual winner, GM Barcenilla.

GM Barcenilla was detected as having “task-switched” out of ICC 24/37 moves in his game, and at the end of the game a chess engine (Houdini) was found to be running on his computer. In response to this, due to the extreme violations of Rules F9 and F10 in our rules page, the USCL TD, Chris Bird, ruled the game as a forfeit, reversing the game result and thereby changing the overall match result.

The USCL has no compelling reason to believe that any cheating or foul play occurred as both the President and Vice President examined the game in question and did not feel that cheating was likely to have occurred. However, this was clearly a huge breach of the aforementioned rules and these types of actions, whether due to cheating or not, can cause teams and fans to believe that the league is not being played honestly and thus must be dealt with very seriously.

Due to the extreme nature of this decision and the obvious effect on the standings, the Arizona team appealed the decision to the USCL advisory board, which is composed of one representative from each USCL team.

After receiving the facts of the case, the vote was twelve to one with one team abstaining (the two teams involved in this automatically abstaining) in favor of upholding the decision of the TD. Therefore the Week 7 result of the Dallas vs Arizona match is now a 2.5-1.5 win for Dallas.

Jan-30-13  wordfunph: <chessgames.com> thanks for posting GM Barce's pic.

we met him during the 3.3 Zonal Championship in Tagaytay City and he was very accommodating to patzers like us.

a look-alike of Gabby Concepcion! :)

Mabuhay ka, GM Banjo!

Sep-23-13  pinoymaster77: See you back here, and all the best in BOGM 2013 set to open this weekend at PSC Complex !

good photo <wordfunph>.

Jan-23-14  epistle: <* They have 17 yr old only son who had no interest in chess. Think he's into Tae Kwondo >

Interesting to note that Glenn Bordonada's son also has no interest in chess and is deep into Judo.

Feb-07-14  Fiona Macleod: A child does not inherit only the genes of the father. Maybe their mothers are into martial arts.
Feb-08-14  kardopov: <Fiona Macleod: A child does not inherit only the genes of the father. Maybe their mothers are into martial arts.>Maybe. But both Banjo and his wife are chess players. Maybe it's about the concern for future of their offspring that was taken into consideration. Even Eugene Torre's child did not become a chess player. Many chess players though did let their children follow their footsteps like the Badilles, Marianos and Nouri.
