FILIPINO Daniel Quizon accomplished what he originally set out for, sealing his dream Grandmaster (GM) title and helping the Philippines smash Monaco, 4-0, that catapulted it closer to the top 10 after four rounds of the 45th FIDE Chess Olympiad at the BOK Sports Hall on Saturday in Budapest, Hungary.
FILIPINO Daniel Quizon accomplished what he originally set out for, sealing his dream Grandmaster title and helping the Philippines smash Monaco, 4-0, that catapulted it closer to the top 10 after four rounds of the 45th FIDE Chess Olympiad at the BOK Sports Hall on Saturday in Budapest, Hungary.
It catapulted the Filipinos, seeded 51st out of a record 197 teams, into a 25-country logjam at 13th place with six match points apiece and will play the 26th seeded Slovenians in the fifth round of this 11-round tournament.It was also no coincidence that Quizon's glorious moment trickled down the women's side where the Filipinas, spearheaded by the giant-slaying Shania Mae Mendoza on top board, demolished El Salvador, 4-0, to leapfrog to a 30-nation tie at No. 13.
