Where's the talk?

So far after Round 4 in the ongoing 1st Umali Cup in Nueva Ecija, I haven't seen an online forum yet to talk about what's happening there.

Chess fans here and abroad have to content themselves with what's coming out of the news from media, particularly newspapers and online news sources.

Very sad indeed.

Consider that the Umali Cup is also a big event, even at least in terms of prizes and the list of participants.

Consider also that this event is happening right here in the Philippines. So near yet so far.

So where's the talk?

The heat is in the Netherlands -- in Corus Group C where GM Wesley So has been casting his spell. So far yet so near.

So where's the talk?

Simply browse GM Wesley So's thread at the forum of chessgames.com. Ahh, the chess fans are there.

In that forum, made possible by the power of the Internet, something indescribable is unfolding right before our very eyes.

It's a magic, I tell you.

Check it, and participate, for you to experience how it is to be a chess addict.
