RP Team in rough sailing in Team Rapid event in 3rd Asian Indoors

After a very strong start by blanking both Team Nepal (4-0) and Team Maldives (4-0) in Round 1 and Round 2 respectively, Team Philippines froze in the succeeding rounds to settle at No.13 spot out of 15 teams after six rounds of play in the 3rd Asian Indoor Games-Team Rapid Preliminary in Vietnam.

Composed of GM Rogeilo Antonio, Jr., GM Mark Paragua, WFM Catherine Pereña and WFM Shercila Cua, the RP Team, the RP Team suffered successive losses to India (Round 3), Vietnam (Round 4), Iran (Round 5), and Uzbekistan (Round 6).

It was a sweet revenge for the Indian Team as it lost to the Philippine Team in the Blitz Team event.

Let's all pray for our team to deliver again in all the remaining rounds. Go go go PHILIPPINES!!
