Chardine Cheradee Camacho (Girl 14) is poised to snatch the first ever medal for the Philippines in the World Youth Chess Championship after piling up 7.5 points after 10 rounds in WYCC 2008.
Camacho is now in the third spot going into the last round. If she wins in Round 11, the final round, she will make history as the first ever Filipino to win a medal in this highly regarded tournament.
But Camacho needs to climb hills and mountains to reach for glory as she is paired against the No.2-seeded player WFM Meri Arabidze (2182) of Georgia in the final round.
Let's all pray for our girl, for our hope, for our pride as a nation.
Jedara Docena (Girl 16) is also within striking distance as she is ranked 5th going into the last round. Let's pray for her, too.
