+ Pichay cup over By GilaChess 19 September 2008 at 9:46 pm and have No Comments
It was a great experience to witness a chess event outside of Malaysia for once. It was very similiar to Malaysian Open but with some obvious differences. The large amount of prize money for the back to back PGMA-Pichay Cup tournament obviously attracted more GMs compared to DATMO. DATMO on the other hand with lesser GMs was on a bigger scale with 111 participants compared to the 60-70 in the Philippines. My responsibilities too was the same but since I did not do the bulletins this time, I could spend more effort on the tournament website (chessasia.net). The experience setting up and updating the site with links, pictures and results was invaluable.
I guess I’ve been blogging for too long. Just like a chess player, as a programmer and webmaster, my web skills were rusty as I had not practiced them. Doing the website was just what I needed to be up to speed again.
7.5 points — Li Shilong (China)
6.5 — S. Iuldachev (Uzbekistan), Z. Zhang (Singapore), E. Ghaemmaghami (Iran)
6 — W. So, M. Mchedlishvili (Georgia), B. Villamayor

+ Kim Steven Yap By GilaChess 18 September 2008 at 12:18 am and have 1 Comment
CHESS is in his blood. His father is NM Lincoln Yap, who is working as a chess instructor and arbiter in Singapore and his mother is Mona Ruelan, daughter of the late NM Marcelo “Loloy” Ruelan.
Hanger His uncle is IM Rico Yap Mascariñas, a chess coach in Singapore, who, for a long time, was the country’s second best player after Eugene Torre, and a Board 2 gold medalist in the 1982 Chess Olympiad in Lucerne, Switzerland! Another uncle is Fide arbiter Marvin Ruelan, who orchestrates a lot of the local tournaments.
Kimkim, 20, an AB English student at the University of Cebu, recently played in the fifth IGB Dato Arthur Tan Malaysia Open where he snared his second IM norm with a 7.5/12 performance when he placed ninth including tiebreaks in a field of 112 highly rated players.
The Unearthly psp
He would have achieved a nine-game GM norm had he won his game against compatriot GM Darwin Laylo in the ninth round instead of a tie.
Rescued divx
He defeated WIM Suveges Navelle of Australia in the first round and missed the winning move versus GM Dzhurmaev Marat of Uzbekistan in the second, which ended in a draw.He went up against GM Sermek Drazen of Croatia in the third round but missed the drawing move, and easily won his fourth and fifth games over Kamal Abdullah and Ian Udani, who are both Malaysians.
