Philippines beats Iraq

The Philippine Team's 3:1 win over Team Iraq was not really that lopsided. Numbers are not that complete to tell the whole story, for there is always qualitative being to give life to quantitative measurement.

Iraq vs Philippines match results:

Bo.	14	Iraq	Rtg	-	6	Philippines	Rtg	1 : 3
6.1	IM	Al-Saffar Araz Basim Mohammed	2349	-	GM	Antonio Rogelio Jr	2573	½ - ½
6.2	FM	Al-Ali Hussein Ali Hussein	2363	-	GM	Gomez John Paul	2522	½ - ½
6.3		Abdul Wahab Ahmed	2309	-	GM	Laylo Darwin	2527	0 - 1
6.4		Dhamir Jabar Al-Yahya	0	-	GM	Torre Eugenio	2484	0 - 1

Against No.14 seed Iraq, the most valuable service of GM Wesley So, the country's No.1 player, was reserved. The battle was left to GMs Antonio, Laylo, Gomez, and Torre - still an all-GM squad. On the other hand, Team Iraq was manned only by an IM and an FM and two untitled players.

Watch the games, and see how the 3:1 victory was hardly earned. The best consolation for this tough win is to see how the No.1 seed Team China crawled past against No.9 seed Bangladesh.
