My old friend Leo Tenorio has just emailed me to say that GM Dejan Antic will be a participant in the Rooty Hill CC Rapid tournament this coming Saturday, 30 June. Those with ambition to score a GM scalp for the sake of bragging rights should enter this tournament. If this terrible weather continues, that should be a good excuse to stay indoors and have a good day of chess.
The event, by the way, is sponsored by Attorney Jess Diaz, founder of an NGO, and was the first Pinoy to be admitted as Barrister in this country.

You're right Armiel, If by any chance, I play opposite Dejan and go beyond 20 moves in a rapidchess, I'll be happy enough to brag that I survive against a GrandMaster...I'll be at Rootyhill this Saturday with my camera.
This is a good chance for me if just in case i'll be paired against him. If I get beaten because he's a GM. But if I manage to win or just a draw, I'll be a big achievement! See you there.
GM Antic can't win all the prize. Sure he's destine to win. He'll have to sweat it up for 7 rounds!
Who knows he might stumble in one of these rounds. Upset is always possible!
I don't mind playing him. I'ts a rare chance of playing a Grandmaster. I wish I get my chance.
I don't care if GM Antic wins the tournament and top prize. Categorically there are so many prizes up for grabs.
If I'll be paired against GM Antic I've got nothing to lose.
Every player paired against him would like to beat him fair and square!
Im sure for the right amount of money your GM friend might lose the battle :)
