We congratulate and salute 14-year old Chardine Cheradee Camacho for making the best finish among 18 RP Team members to the just concluded World Youth Chess Championship 2008 in Vietnam.
In fact, Camacho narrowly fell short of making a Philippine record -- being the first Filipino ever to win a medal in WYCC.
She finished 5th overall in the Girls 14 Category out of a total of 79 players.
A job well done, indeed!
To showcase her tactical prowess, let's see her performance in one of her games.
