2nd Philippines Chess Open: Round 7 pairings 10 May 2008 at 11:39 pm by GilaChess

Tournament leader, Zhou Weiqi

has been performing excellently. The last two rounds he has been the giant killer in beating tournament favourite Wesley So and Indonesian most promising – Susanto Megaranto. He faces his compatriot Li Chao next. Li Chao recovered from his Round 5 loss against Megaranto by beating Julio Catalino Saddora in Round 6. Li Chao shares the current 2nd and 3rd spot with Vietnamese GM Le Quang Liem. Mas lost his round 6 to 20-year old Chinese Yang Kaiqi

(2307).

Mas is paired against yet another Chinese player, Xu Tong (2188). China has sent 14 players to take part in this tournament.

+ Another tournament clash!! By GilaChess 10 May 2008 at 4:34 pm and have No Comments

Lost in Space full movie There are so many one day tournaments nowadays, there’s bound to be clashes.

The latest clash will be next week’s KSAS Open and the Pel Klang Open.

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai dvd

I would love to go to both tournaments but since they are both on the 17th of May, that would not be possible. The other problem is transportation to both the tourney. However for the Port Klang tourney, the organisers have offered to pick me up at the train station so I’m most likely to go to this tournament instead

Also, I got to talk with one of the organisers and he said that the clash was not intentional. The date was chosen long before but they did not publicise it till later.
