A request

The father of the 10-year old Paulo Bersamina (1862), a bright hope of Philippine chess, texted me a day ago and even dropped a message in this blog.

I just want to share Mr. Bersamina's message with the rest of the members of the Malibay Chess Club and to all those concerned. This is to prepare ourselves with the kind of tournament that we are going to stage next time.

Mr Bersamina, we hope that you could be our partner in promoting chess -- especially for kids -- in Pasay.

Mr. Bersamina said:

Sana sasali yung anak ko nung tourney nyo, si Paulo Bersamina, kaya lang
nakalagay for Malibay residents only. Dito kami sa may Cartimar, Pasay din.
Please post your future tourneys, sana open to Pasay residents.Good luck!

The Meralco Chess Club is inviting your club to a goodwill match at Lopez Bldg.,Meralco, Ortigas.
Saturdays 9:30AM ang preferred sched namin. Hope you can agree with your members kung kailan kayo pupunta sa Meralco. We also have kids with us, children of employees.
You just have to bring your players, may sets at clocks na doon.
--Mr. Rolly Sol Cruz and Mr. Lilet Bersamina

Mr. Cruz and Mr. Bersamina,

I already relayed your invitation to our club members and they really liked the idea!

But since we are helping our club's co-volunteers in Edang (still a part of Pasay) in staging a mini-tournament for kids this coming August 16 and August 17, we cannot visit your place earlier than the said dates. Probably, a week after that period, let's say August 24 (tentatively).

We highly appreciate the opportunity for growth that you opened for us.

We will let you know about the final details of our first (hopefully more to take place) visit to your club as soon as possible.

This early, we would like to say "Thank you!" May our collaboration to promote chess among the youth strengthen in the future.

Yours in chess,
Resty Par (rusticbull)

mr. lilet bersamina,

Your proposed date (Sept.6) for the friendship games between our clubs is fine for the rest of our club members.

But we will let you know of the final details of our scheduled visit in your place at least a week before the proposed date.

Thank you, thank you talaga.
