| Introduction | I'm a chess player, I earned my National Master title way back in 2001 at the Chess Master's Classic Tourney which was held in Negros Occidental. This event was participated by some of the biggest names in Philippine Chess, including the legendary GM Eugene Torre and GM Joey Antonio. When it goes to the hard fights, I know that I have to forget all the feelings and mobilize everything, ignore the personality sitting opposite me and just call it "an enemy" w/o any characteristic. You have to win you have to destroy it. IT, not him or her, it. |
