Although not able to make it to the RP team for the Dresden Olympiad, IM Julio Catalino Sadorra (2470) made one the most impressive performances in the recent national finals.
Well, he simply made the shortest decisive game in that event, demolishing GM Bong Villamayor (2469) in just 19 moves!
The irony is that GM Villamayor, along with four others (GMs Wesley So, Darwin Laylo, Jayson Gonzales and IM John Paul Gomez) made it to the RP team after accumulating 11.5 points out of 17 rounds.
IM Sadorra was only able to pile 8.5 points, enough for him to have a ticket to the 1st World Mind Games.
