A peek on 2009 Singapore Challenger games

Remember the Singapore Chess Challenge 2009 where Filipino campaigners displayed a rampaging performance of 1-2-4-5 finish?

I'm posting here the games of RP's reigning Boys Under-12 ruler Paulo Bersamina who placed second overall in that tournament.

I previously thought that this international tournament, which was participated in by 90 plus players from 11 countries, was just for kiddies and juniors. But when I saw the photos of the event (courtesy of my friend Lilet Bersamina), oh wow, only the RP's age-group rulers were the young players in that field!

Notably, Bersamina beat the tournament's top-seed, CM Gokhale Raghunandan (2147) of India, in the seventh round, to finish with 7.0 points in nine rounds.

Let's watch the games of Paulo:
