Gabriela!!

The country's nine Filipina participants in the Women's Section of the 8th Asian Continental Chess Championship gallantly battled against their foreign counterparts , but only one made it to the upper half.


Matched against much higher-rated and internationally experienced players, our Filipina combatants stood their ground to wave proudly the Philippine flag amidst a very tough battlefield.

Surely, our lady fighters need more attention and assistance to become more competitive in the global chess arena.

To our lady fighters, thank you all for the gallant stand! Keep on fighting!!

Final rankings of Filipina players in the Women's Section:
