Camacho out of Zone 3.3

I was surprised to find out that 14-year old Chardine Cheradee Camacho, a bright hope of Philippine chess to become the first Filipina WGM, was out of Zone 3.3 FIDE World Chess Championships in Vietnam.


She was earlier reported to be in the line up. Don't know the reason why.

Instead, internationally experienced Daisy Rivera takes her place.

Here's the RP's women contingent:

WFM Sherily Cua (2174)
WFM Shercila Cua (2167)
WFM Catherine PereƱa (2092)
Daisy Rivera (2087)

Good luck to our ladies!

Maybe she prefers to be in school.

she was not allowed by ateneo to play abroad because of her studies. I prefer that she be good in academics also.
