2nd Philippines Chess Open: Round 7 pairings

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.

ZW is certainly no underdog and could hardly be described as having creating upsets with his wins. His rating is actually above that of Wesley So and on par with Megaranto. Currently he is holding Li Chao cormfortably in his 7th round game.

Will Mr. Mas lose his IM title because his rating below requested 2400?

Will Mr. Zhou pay for GM title or he wants it for free? Is Zhou a man or a woman?
