1st Campomanes Memorial Cup (Open) ROUND 8

ROUND 8 HIGHLIGHTS:

- Out of the Top 13 boards featuring 9 players from the Philippines, not one Filipino won a match
- GM Darwin laylo lost to GM GM Zhou Jianchao, putting himself out of the title race
- GM Wesley So drew with GM Ding Liren, also putting him out of the title race
- GM Eugene Torre lost to 6th Pichay Cup champion GM Anton Filippov
- Senador Emmanuel lost to GM Gagunashvili Merab, but still has a big chance of nailing an IM norm
- IM Rolando Nolte lost to GM Zhang Zhong, eclipsing his hope of gaining a GM norm

What a gloomy day for the Philippine contingent in this round. No RUSTICBULL's PICK this time.
