0571057I am glad that Torre is still around. He's been the alpha male of Philippine chess no matter who is the top-rated chessplayer in the country. Earning the first GM title in Asia secured his place as one of Asia's chess greats. I admired him a lot when I was a young player in the Philippines, and there was an afternoon at the Philippine National Chess Club in Cubao (1970s) when I saw him trounce all challengers in blitz. I've never met him but I became acquainted with his brother, Jess. More power to GM Torre.
