Pinay chess Olympian WFM Rulp Ylem Jose (2038), in photo, just did a superb show of Filipina power in the 2010 Grand Asian Chess Championship (Ladies) in Malaysia - finishing solo third overall and winning over Russian topseed WGM Vera Nebolsina (2377).
Remarkably, only this alluring Pinay dented the single loss of Nebolsina, the eventual champion with 8.0 points, in this international tournament. As an icing on the cake, Jose's win over the Russian topseed was impressive indeed - scaling up more than 300 Elo points separating them! Despite the huge Elo rating gap, the beautiful Pinay never showed any form of intimidation and went on to crush the Russian beauty with the heart of a lion.
Six Pinays joined this 50-player international event, with participants coming from six countries namely, Iran, Malaysia, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, and Sri Lanka.
Notably, five of the six Pinays who participated in this event landed in the Top 10! What a show of Pinay power indeed!!
Congratulations to all the Pinays who successfully waved the Philippine flag in this tournament.

They can form a 'fearsome threesome'
in Ladies chess with Camacho,Jose & Fronda. Docena and soon Frayna will be around. Proper intl exposure lang, main challenge is training time and availability vs school requirements/academics since they're still in College. I think Jose is newly grad and might have more time to play in tournaments...
