For National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP) president Prospero Pichay to order a replay of Antonio-So Round 6 match exploded like a bomb that rocked not only Philippine chess but the global chess community.
That's the power of technology nowadays. What you say here this moment could be known -- and reacted upon -- by the whole world with an awesome speed.
Which only means that because of that order of Pichay, Philippine chess became the talk of global chess in an instant.
It is not within the sphere of this blog to judge the correctness or incorrectness of Pichay's order.
What is of interest to this blogger is the way that the chess community here and abroad actively participate in an issue that directly affects CHESS as a sport.
The signs are good. People are talking -- bravely.
How good it is to see that all people who love chess expose the wickedness in this beautiful sport and then ACT pro-actively to make chess a respectable and fun sport.

Nice one rusticbull,
talk of the town indeed, thanks to brgy wesley...and lately chessdom..
its time na cguro na mgakaroon na tau ng week/monthly magazine tungkol sa chess
the NCFP acted on the belief that it was good for chess in the country the same way Antonio and So acted on what they believed is good for themselves. Okay I think I have to agree that it is a good sign, in some ways.
