Tsk tsk tsk. Why do they have to squabble? 2007 was a banner year for Philippine chess having produced two Grandmasters and Wesley So. I congratulate them. So please stop squabbling and think of the good times. I am organizing a monthly chess tournament in Sibalom Antique. My main purpose is to develop find new talents and provide the young players tournament opportunities which I have not enjoyed when I was their age. Where can I subscribe chess magazines? Is Chess Asia still in circulation? I would also want to buy chess books. Please email at jongrace64@hotmail.com. Thanks a lot.
