Philippine Chess Team Lost to Belarus
« on: September 29, 2010, 10:48:48 PM »
The Philippines took a stinging 1-3 defeat from Belarus despite GM Wesley So’s tough draw against GM Sergei Zhigalko in the sixth round of the 39th World Chess Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia Monday.

So, who will turn 17 on Oct. 9, made the right continuation in a complicated Pelikan and Sveshnikov variations of the Sicilian to squeeze a draw in 35 moves.

He had a queen, a rook and seven pawns against Zhilgalko’s queen, rook, knight and three pawns when the game was agreed drawn via repetition of moves.

It was actually So who veered away from the bookline of the game when he sacrificed a knight for two pawns on the 13th move. But Zhilgalko countered with precise moves and kept the pressure in a queen and rook ending.

GM John Paul Gomez also battled to a draw with GM Vitaly Teterev in 40 moves of the King’s Indian but GM Darwin Laylo lost to Evgeniy Podolchenko in 92 moves of the Queen’s Indian defense and IM Richard Bitoon bowed to IM Kiril Stupak in 58 moves of the Neo-Gruenfeld.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

They lost as well today to Bulgaria but..
Veselin Topalov is a super GM siya ang nagkig harong ni Vishy Anand
for FIDE championship and our boy 16 yr old GM Wesley So managed a draw.
Laylo and Bitoon lost but ang veteran nato nga si Eugene Torre nakadaog

Dako ug chance nga kini si So mahimong world champion like Anand, Karpov or Kasparov.

If padayon siya anang practice nga computer ra permi kontra no chance ma world champion.
He needs a human coach and so far sa tournament karon permi lang draw iya games, 1 ra ang
daog against atong South Korea, ok ra unta maka draw siya sa mga opponents like Topalov
kay mga super GMs naman ni but naka draw siya sa mga opponents nga less than sa iyang elo rating
ang nahitabo ni ubos na nuon ang live elo rating niya.

If you look at Vietnam layo ra kaayo ni sa Pinas sauna sa chess but karon murag na apsan na ang Pinas
kay ila gov't ni supporta jud ni hire og foreign coach if im not mistaken a GM from Ukraine mao pod ni
nakapait diri kay minus og supporta and possible Wesley So will migrate to Canada which is sayang
jud kay very rare ni nga talent sa atoa, iya pamilya naa naman karon sa Canada
