And the NCFP has yet to select two other members of the chess olympiad team who has yet to play in the Philippine Selection Games (The Battle of the Grandmasters event) which is still uncertain as to when it will start. Practically, the Philippine Chess Team to the Tromso Norway Chess Olympiad in August has already lose its games even without playing unless Fide will allow 1 player to play against the opponents 5 player all by himself in a team event or let GM Saddorra manned Board 1, GM Jayson Gonzales Board 2; GM Prospero Pichay Board 3; GM Napoles Board 4 and GM Denise Cornejo Board 5, that would be great LOL Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13118012.post-40029232619859039542014-06-14T21:12:18.756-05:002014-06-14T21:12:18.756-05:00So did the Philippines miss the deadline?So did the Philippines miss the deadline?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
