This year, GM Paragua defeated a world-class player in GM Movsasian in the first round. He lost to Super-GM Dreev in the second round, but GM Dreev did not get the win easily. He has to go to the tie-breaks in order to defeat GM Paragua. Next year, i imagine GM Paragua to enter the last 18. GOOD LUCK MARK. And by the way, watch out for another pinoy chess wiz ihn the making. His name is Wesley So. He's not yet a teenager but he is a FIDE Master already. watch out for him, will you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
