This blog has been receiving special privileges lately. First, we're indeed thankful that IM Oliver Dimakiling shared with us here his favorite game in the 2010 Penang Open tournament which he topped.
And now, we must be thankful again that IM Oliver Barbosa (in photo), the second finisher of the same event, also graciously made available his best game in the said international competition, for all of us to enjoy. Notably, IM Barbosa piled up 7.5 points, the same output scored by the champ Dimakiling.
These days, Barbosa distinguishes himself by playing a special role in the preparation of the six-man Philippine Men's Team which took part in the 2010 Asian Games where our team won the epic silver medal. With that role, Barbosa would now go into the books of Philippine chess history as part of that historic moment.
I deemed that it is only just, fair, and reasonable that Barbosa also be accorded the praises - and incentives - due him. I don't know, though, if he received monetary rewards from the National Chess Federation of the Philippines for that special role.
Let's watch this game and find out why it's his favorite.
