                    [Summary] => Shut out in the gold medal race, the Filipino chessers will go down as one of the biggest failures in the 23rd Southeast Asian Games.


The Philippines failed to win a single gold medal despite coming into the event as the favorite, having won three of the four men’s gold medals in the 2003 Vietnam Games.


Instead of gold medals, RP came out of the battle with four silver and three bronze medals that not only disappointed the lovers of the game but its top official Go Teng Kok as well.

Cua thus hiked her output to five points as she caught WGM Nguyen Thi Thanh An and WFM Luong Min Hue of Vietnam at the helm heading into the final two rounds of the nine-round event.
