John Paul Gomez earns 9-game IM Norm! JP Gomez beats Vietnamese sensation GM Le Quang Liem who spots him by more than 120 rating points! He done this by a terrific game that started with a rook sacrifice (exchange) in his 23rd move. He then put his another Rook for grab in the 39th, for a mating attack. Le declined the dubious offer but cannot sustain the loss of his a and c pawn which paved the way for JP's pawn roll. Nice game by Gomez! He has White on the next round against Turkey's IM Esen Baris, Cge iho litsunin mo yang "turkey" na yan!
