3rd Battle of Grandmasters Round 2

Two rounds have already been played out in the 3rd Battle of Grandmasters in Tagaytay. But still, the chess community has yet to see even a single game from the battle.

The chess community has this call for the National Chess Federation of the Philippines: WE WANT TO WATCH THE GAMES!

Oh please, NCFP. If you can't provide a live coverage, please upload the PGNs of the games in your website.

Round 2 Results (courtesy of Mr. Reginald Tee over chessgames.com):

FM Garcia vs GM Gonzales (1-0)
IM Dimakiling vs GM Antonio (0-1)
IM Dableo vs GM Gomez (0-1)
IM Sadorra vs GM Laylo (1-0)
FM Pascua vs GM So (0-1)
IM Bitoon vs IM Nolte (1-0)

All decisive games!! Hmnnnn, an order for a game replay might not happen this time. Notably, FM Garcia is having a good start and is on track of getting his third and final IM norm.
