Here is where our blog may serve it's purpose again...
Visit FIDE website and get the not so shocking reality: RP is not in the list again (for the nth time!).
Age group campaigners Florendo and Docena didn't make it to the World Juniors.
Pinoy players not getting their prize money from GMA and Pichay Cup.
Reasons?
May 2010 is causing almost all the delays in our country, not Ondoy, Quepeng nor Ramil!
Philippine chess has so flourished in the last 4 years NCFP, don't let it go to waste!
If you think you've done your part, then hold an election and allow those interested to serve the fed.

FICS Revisited
After Friday's simultaneous chess exhibition by Paulo Bersamina at Mahatma Gandhi International School in cooperation with the PE Department and MGIS Chess Club, I had a field day Saturday morning until evening playing at FICS.
It's been awhile since I last played there and as far as I can remember, the last game I had there was during my bored to death times in Morocco. Anyways, I'll share the game moves with you. I lost a lot of games yesterday with time controls of 5/g, 3/g and 2/g. Nobody wants to play lightning with me at FICS and I don't know why.
I got really bad losses and there was one game when I was mated on the bank rank with two knights. Really bad! For a chess fan like me, I have nothing to lose but gain more experience playing the game online.
This game is one of the reasons why I stayed in front of my notebook the whole day:
Mudri 1459 Me 1455
5/G FICS 10/17/2009
