BUDAPEST—International Master Daniel Quizon provided the lone bright spot for the Philippines after he shell-shocked Super Grandmaster Dimitrij Kollars in a stinging 3-1 defeat to Germany in Thursday night’s second round of the 45th FIDE Chess Olympiad at the BOK Sports Hall here.
“Kumapit lang po ako at hindi nawalan ng pagasa,” said the soft-spoken Quizon, who donned the same lucky black and reversible nylon jacket that helped him tie for first in a super-strong meet in Abu Dhabi early this month. It could have been a better result for the Filipinos though as IM Paulo Bersamina, GM John Paul Gomez all had drawing chances but could not consummate it and succumbed to GMs Matthias Bluebaum, Alexander Donchenko and Frederik Svane, respectively.
