Chess as headline

It’s in all the newspapers.

Pacquiao – the best pound-for-pound fighter. All headlines in screaming fashion. Simply phenomenal.

It’s no longer an admiration. It’s more becoming of a fanaticism.

Now I dream of a day when all the media do the same accolade. But not about Pacquio or boxing.

I dream of a day when all the newspapers carry a headline about Philippine chess, just something like this: “GM Wesley So is World Champ!!”

To be the world’s best. A Filipino has already done it – in boxing. I don’t see any reason whey we can’t do it in chess, too.

Am I dreaming a dream?
