2013 Palarong Maynila Chess Meet : Matindi ang pangangailangan!!


2013 Palarong Maynila Chess Meet : Matindi ang pangangailangan!! Private school coaches tinalo kapwa private coach ! Talo-talo na sa tindi ng pangangailangan
 Magkalaban sa Board 1 si Donguines(5.5 points) ng Letran at Kyz Llantada ng Arellano University (4.5 ), samantalang kalaban sa Board 3 Ni Kenneth Baltazar(5.0 points) ng Letran ay si Anatoly Pascua(4.5 points) ng Manila Division of City Schools. Samantalang ang Board 2 ay labanan nila Darly Samantila(5 points) ng Adamson at Eliseo Budoso(5.0 points) ng Manila DCS.  Champion si Kenneth kapag nanalo laban kay Pascua
Biglaang pumasok sa tournament venue ang tatlong   private school coach at nais ipatigil ang laro dahil daw wala ang coach ng mga nangungunang manlalaro ng Colegio de San Juan de Letran. Unang pumasok ang senior coach ng University of the East na si Henry Mariano kasunod ang coach ng National University na si Jojo Aquino coach kasabay ang coach nag Adamson University na si Christopher Rodriguez. Dapat daw ipairal ang No coach no play ayon pa sa tatlo.Itigil ang laro ng mga nangungunang manlalaro ng Letran College at ideklarang talo. Ang No coach No play ay pinaiiral sa lahat ng mga gurong pambubliko sa Manila -Division of City School para mapangalagaan ang mga manlalaro ng mga pampublikong paaralan . Dahil sa ingay na ginawa at upang mapanatili ang katahimikan ay sinabihan na lang sila ng Chief Arbiter na lumabas . Napagusapan na sa coaches meeting na maaring payagan ng Chief Arbiter maglaro kahit wala ang coach kung nagpaalam at may valid na dahilan ayon na rin sa rules ng paligsahan. Ang Board 1 ay pinaglalabanan nila John Donguines(5.5 points) ng Letran laban kay Kyz Llantada(4.5 points) ng Arellano University samantalang kalaban sa Board 3 Ni Kenneth Baltazar(5.0 points) ng Letran ay si Anatoly Pascua(4.5 points) ng Manila Division of City Schools. Samantalang ang Board 2 ay labanan nila Daryl Samantila(5 points) ng Adamson at Eliseo Budoso(5.0 points) ng Manila DCS.  .Ngayon lang nangyari sa halos tatlumpung taon ng paligsahan na may ganitong kaso na no coach no play na nireklamo ang chess coach sa pribadong paaralan ang kapwa nila coach.

Gary Kasparov at the Rizal Park Chess Plaza June 1992

World champion Gary Kasparov was the guest of honor at the Rizal Park Blitz Tournament. Kasparov together with Philippine's National arbiter Ernie Baltazar, the Chief Arbiter of the to...urnament, watched the final of the blitz tournament between Rodel Infante and Rodolfo Panopio Jr ; " White is winning ,then after the next move Black is winning , suddenly White is winning again, then Black is winning again ", the world champ told the Chief Arbiter on analyzing the final match. "Maybe its more of an Insurance or maybe its a Voyage " he was told. Insurance is when two players just split their prizes no matter who won the game while Voyage is the English term for "biyahe"for deliberately losing the game.

When asked who will be his likely rival in the world championship match between Jan Timman of the Netherlands or Nigel Short of England, Kasparov said: "It will be Short and the match will be short"

The Rizal Park chess plaza (Asia's first chess plaza)was inaugurated on October 18, 1979
