And so the Philippine teams are as they battle Aruba in the men’s division and Malawi in the women’s side as action opened last night in the 45th FIDE Chess Olympiad at the BOK Sports Hall here.
International Masters Daniel Quizon and Paulo Bersamina, Grandmaster John Paul Gomez and IM Jan Emmanuel Garcia received a marching order to go for the kill early while awaiting their top board player GM Julio Catalino Sadorrra.Meanwhile, the women’s side made a surprise move by putting WGM Janelle Mae Frayna on board two and WFM Shania Mae Mendoza to board one from her usual designation at the lower boards to give the team more chances of winning.
“The goal is to have more winning chances. Besides, we only need 2.5 points to win a match,” said National Chess Federation of the Philippines chief executive officer and national women’s coach GM Jayson Gonzales.
