Remember her? I can't help featuring her here after seeing her name in the chessresults.com team pairings.
Arianne Caoili -- that cute, smart, young lady. She fought for the Philippine Team in two chess olympiads (2000 and 2002).
She's now playing Board 1 for Australia. In fact, she already had played for Australia twice for the olympiad (2004 and 2006). It's now her third for Australia.
The main reason, really, why I thought of focusing the spotlight on her is the reality of LOSING our young female chess talents from the Philippine pool -- just like Arianne.
The reasons for LOSING a jewel like Arianne are many. Anybody, for one, can blame our politically fucking government.
We have many young female talents now . . . Camacho, Bernales, Fronda, Cua, and other names.
Let's take care of these young girls that they refrain from migrating to foreign lands for greener pasture.
Who wouldn't be mesmerized by Arianne?

I don't mind loosing her. She's not full blooded filipina anyway. Even russian players defected to other countries for personal reason's and not political. Nigerian, american, british, talents are lately defecting to the Philippines. We lose some, they lose some. Not a big deal. Nothing wrong with that so I can't see any reason why we have to blame the government again and again for loosing a sexy women like miss caoili. we should not be a cry baby in this matter.
Thank you indeed for the comment.
