                    [Title] => Lomibao hopes to thwart Vietnamese bid for sweep
                    [Summary] => HO CHI MIHN (Via Globe Telecom) — Minus young Fil-Australian prodigy Arianne Caoili, woman FIDE Master Sheerie Joy Lomibao is confident to pick up the cudgels and hopefully foil the projected Vietnamese sweep of the Southeast Asian Games women’s chess.


"I played them (the Vietnamese) in the Asian Zonals. I drew with a number of them and lost to only one, so I think I can hold my own in this event," said Lomibao, who is tapped to play board one in the team event in the absence of Caoili.

Grandmaster Eugene Torre, skipper of a crack 11-player chess squad, predicted yesterday that the team is capable of bringing home no less than two gold medals in the sport, which will be played for the very first time in the biennial regional meet.
