Carabou
That’s the Philippine’s National animal - the Carabao. It’s the water buffalo. Notice the pronounciation of Carabao is similiar to the Malay equivalent - Kerbau ? The Philippines language has roots in Spanish, Malay, Indian language and a host of other languages.
Kiri, Kanan has the same meaning in Tagalog as it is in Malay. [...]
4th Pichay Cup: Final day

GM Li Shilong is assured to be the champion with a one point lead in front of his nearest rival. Even if he lost the last round he would win on tie break. However, I’m sure he would get at least a draw today as then [...]

Xu Tong
This should be Xu Tong’s sixth time to the Philippines but she is not doing well in the 4th Pichay Cup after having collected only half a point from 5 rounds. She doesn’t look happy in the picture either.
She gets a bye in the 6th round.

Zhang Jing
She lost her first two rounds to Goh Weiming and Rolando Andador but bounced back to draw with compatriat Jia Haoxiang and beat WIM Irene Sukhandar (2262) and Edgar Reggie Olay (2398).
So far that’s a rating performance of 2340 which is good considering her current rating is at 2033. After both tournaments it’ll [...]
