[Title] => Pinoy chessers stay in hunt in RP Open
[Summary] =>
SUBIC – Grandmasters Joey Antonio and Mark Paragua trampled their respective local rivals while Eugene Torre held Indon GM S. Megaranto to a draw as they remained within striking distance of the Chinese leaders halfway through the 2007 Philippine Open Chess Championship at the Legenda Hotel here Sunday.
Antonio, coming off a runner-up finish in Bangkok, Thailand, whipped Arlan Cabe while Paragua, out to atone for a series of mediocre performances, trounced upset-conscious NM Mirabeau Maga to hike their output to 3.5 points.

[Title] => Torre bewails politics in sports
[Summary] => Asia’s first chess grandmaster Eugene Torre said the other day too much politics blurs the focus of the country’s athletes in competing for honors in international competitions.
I had a chance conversation with Torre at the wake of our assistant sports editor Gerry Carpio’s son Peter John in the St. Peter Memorial Chapel on Quezon Boulevard. Torre and I were joined by Elmer Yanga and his wife Esper in consoling Gerry, his wife Emma and their children Patrick Jonathan, Paul Jerome and Aileen.

[Summary] => It may not be the best but it sure is the strongest chess team ever assembled in recent years.
Stronger than the 1992 Olympiad teams, tougher than the winning 1995 Asian Team Championships squad, and definitely a lot better than the crew which lost to Kazakhstan in their duel for the World Team Championship berth in 1997.
