Special visitor

Mr. Francis Buenaventura, the man behind the philippinechesschronicles blog, visited the Malibay Chess Club. We treat it as a privilege.

Sadly, we were not even able to offer him anything to drink, not even a monoblock chair for him to comfortably sit on.

All we could afford was to entertain him to the cold concrete stair-like bench of the Malibay gym.

But of course, we certainly know that he understands. As far as we believe, what the Malibay Chess Club "offered" him was sweeter than the sweetest drinks and even more comfortable than the most comfortable chair to sit on.

We simply offered him our -- hands. May the handshakes lead to fruitful and lasting collaborations.
