With only four rounds remaining in the ongoing World Youth Chess Championship 2008, hopes for snatching the historic first medal for the Philippines are still alive.
At least three young Filipino mind warriors are in a good position to win a medal in this world competition. Kyle Ochoa (Open 8), Jan Emmanuel Garcia (Open 14) and Chardine Cheradee Camacho (Girl 14) are within a striking distance to bring home the first ever medal from this highly competitive event.
Ochoa (5.5 points after seven rounds) is ranked 4th out of 83 competitors in the Open 8 category (very promising indeed!).
Ochoa (5.5 points after seven rounds) is ranked 4th out of 83 competitors in the Open 8 category (very promising indeed!).
Garcia is tied at second place with other 5 players who piled up 5.5 points, but ranked 6th overall (out of 86 players) due to tie breaks.
Camacho, who has 5.0 points, is ranked seventh (still possible to win a medal, I think).
