this idea did not come from me. it came from the webmaster. ask him

di na unta ko mag pakita dinhi , HONESTLY, but then i got hooked up w/ this. i saw this as a chance for redemption. kay wa na ko mo angay nga sayon sayonon lang ko sa ubang member dinhi. naka menos ug maajo nato ba. i am not a milyoner but i have a heart of gold. i want to do something worthwhile and when mike suggested this tournament, i told him to go ahead.

Balong is right. I am the one who suggested the Rene Balong Econg Open Chess Tournament. I was thinking of offering the idea to a politician but I was avoiding of political indebtedness. Since Balong is not a politician, and has been known in Maribojoc to have sponsored several basketball tournaments, I suggested to him whether he is agreeable to sponsor a chess tournament in Bohol. This idea came to me upon learning that there is now a Boholano (first ever) who is a candidate for a Grandmaster Title. His name is Oliver Dimakiling. Bohol also has a Woman National Master. Her name is Jedara Docena. Observers predict she would also get a Grandmaster Title five years from now.

The title of the tournament is solely my preference. This is the practice done in most chess tournaments when there is only one person who is the source/sponsor for all prizes, thus the Rene Balong Econg Open Chess Tournament.

Again, the reason I approached Balong to sponsor this kind of tournament because, according to many who know him personally in bolanon.com and in tubagbohol.com, he has been an active supporter/sponsor of many sports activities in his hometown in Maribojoc.

i am humbled thus.  please accept my apologies for my comments the basis of which i didn't fully understand, considering the gaps in what can be read openly.  i hope balong comes back to go on with a worthwhile project.  everything is clear now.  besides, why be affected with a comment from someone like me, who am a failed chess player?  please give yourself this break, sir balong, and in so doing, you give everyone else this same break. 

come back soon.  i believe the tournament and your support of it is way above anybody's opinion, most specially mine.

i'm very sorry.

I commend you, Isles ! Balong, I hope you answer Isles' post. Let there be reconciliation here, my dear beloved friends.



Colossians tells us,

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

-Colossians 3:12-14

After Balong's tournament, I am thinking of requesting Bran Lorenzo to sponsor another tournament to be held during the Summer of 2013 (perhaps Bran Lorenzo Chess Tournament 2013 Summer Edition) para ma-sustain nato ang interest sa chess ug dunay monthly or quarterly tournament.

There is no limit as to how much prize will be given. Depende na sa mo-sponsor. Ang ato lang maka-encourage ta sa mga butan-an nga mo-engage into the game of chess as this has been proven to be a good exercise for mental development.

In fact, in Europe and in India, chess is a subject in their elementary and high school curriculum. Please read more about this research at http://www.quadcitychess.com/benefits_of_chess.html
