Daisy Rivera

Weeks before the Dresden Chess Olympiad, a chess lover in Edang, Pasay City said he would invite Daisy Rivera to his baranggay to do a simul for the young kids.

Rev. Larry Teodoro, a true chess lover and community leader, train a number of kids in his barangay to involve the youth in sports, particularly chess.

I did not know that time that Daisy Rivera will be a member of RP's Women Team to the Dresden Chess Olympiad now taking place in Germany.

As you already knew, Daisy has so far scored 1.0 point out of two games in Dresden. I hope she's given a board assignment again in Round 6 and go for the win.

How we wish that Daisy grants the request of the youth from Edang afte her patriotic mission in Germany.

Good luck, Daisy!

Here are some of the tactics that I spotted in Daisy's Round 5 game:
