RP Women's Team: 2010 Chess Olympiad

I have a good feeling that the Women's Philippine Team would fare well in the 2010 Chess Olympiad.

Seeded No.50 (RtgAvg: 2107) in a 114-team field, the Women's RP Team - I think - is the best possible team we can send to this edition of the world chess olympiad

I simply like our line-up:
WFM Chardine Cheradee Camacho (2186)
WFM Catherine PereƱa (2103)
WFM Sherciala Cua (2099)
Jose Rulp Ylem (2039)
Jedara Docena (2033)

In Round 1, they are paired with No.107 seed Netherlands Antilles (RtgAvg: 1200) which are composed of all non-titled, unrated players.

It seems to be a light assignment in Round 1, but our Gabrielas should always be on guard.

Only if our Men's team is as disciplined as our Women's team in terms of composition . . . well, what can I say? Pinays are simply more loveable.

GO GO GO Pinays!!! Wave the Philippine flag!!!
