Ocean pearls abound in the Philippines. Not only that, even chess jewels are plentiful here.
The two young chess talents (in the photo above), Jan Jodilyn Fronda (left) and Akiko Suede, took time out to frolic on one of the beautiful beaches in Tacloban where the Palarong Pambansa 2009 was held.
These two young talents from NCR brought home the gold in Girls' High School category (please correct me if I'm wrong).
However, I don't see their names in the list of Filipina players who have registered to compete in the Asian Continental Chess Championship.
The opportunity for battling against strong opponents is already here. I think it's best for them to take advantage of the opportunity.
Let's say, they would have difficulties battling against the giants, but at least they would learn a thing or two, apart from exposure and experience.
