"Eugene Torre losses by default. He forgot that the last round began at 1PM and not 3PM!!!! Same thing happened to Severino"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
What a way to end. Argh!
Anyways, an account of Severino's first round performance:
- His first round game against a fellow pinoy with an FM title, I guess, is the best DRAWN game I've seen yet in my baby chess life. He was handling black pieces and was really down to K+R+R while his enemy pieces were up by 3 P's, 2 R's and a dark squared Bishop. Everyone who's watching that game would give a glance to another on-looker and ask "what happened there?" Doc Jenny, when he saw the position asked me "bakit na zugzwang?" (why did it reach a zugzwang position?) and all I can say was "the white player captured and fell into Severino's trap"
The news would call him "The GM Killer". The first time I saw him, I knew he would make a name for himself but did not expect it to be very soon. It's like watching a David & Goliath match.
Were proud of you!
