Here's a couple of games from our Pinoy heroes! And I must thank our reader, Mr. Michael Rabena for this news tip. Thank you, sir.

Caoili is currently listed with the australian chess federation...
Roland Salvador got a GM norm for this feat, that means he now has 2 norms.
There is a possibility that he might become the first Filipino player ever to jump to GM without passing through IM.
My columns of August 25 and 28 cover the Genova International.

Isnt Salvador already an IM i think i have read it in your columns B. Ang?
Roland Salvador is a FIDE Master (FM). He has 2 GM norms and 2 IM norms.
Perhaps you are confusing him with Rolly Martinez, who recently got his IM title.

Opps, Its Rolmar pala. Nice column on premature resignation, isnt Kasparov also have one against Deep Blue?
