David Elorta

David Elorta. He is known as a "Giant Killer."

Well, his name fits him. David "the small" killed Goliath "the giant" with a stone throw.

I was informed that this player regularly beats well-known Filipino IMs and GMs in his lair in Guada (Makati City) in blitz games.

OK, blitz. But what about standard games?

I was able to peek on his game of standard chess only last year during the 3rd PGMA Cup.

I believe that our streets have a lot of the so-called GM-Killers. They are just out there waiting to strike anytime.
