GM Rogelio Antonio,Jr. has been considered Blitz King in the Philippines. Perfectly true. He proved it once again by scoring 8.5 points out of possible nine in the Team Blitz event of the 3rd Asian Indoor Games. Awesome indeed!!
Notably, Antonio had an amazing perfect performance up to Round 8. That's 8/8, or 100%! Isn't that perfect? It could have been a 9/9 if not for the draw in Round 9 against Iranian GM Moradiabadi Elshan (2547).
Of his eight wins, three were over fellow strong GMs. After nine rounds of play, Antonio erected a rating performance of 2822!! Oh men, that's Blitzin Antonio! (PHOTO taken during a simul in Meralco.)

in the last staging Asian Indoor Games, GM Joey's performance could have resulted a gold medal. This only shows what the current strenght of Joey is, if only he could muster enough confidence in his play and opening repertoire he could reach as high as the round of 16 in the up coming world cup.
