World Youth Chess Champhionship 2008 Last Stretch

Tomorrow will be the last day for this year`s WYCC. Jedara Docena the Filipino player now ranked 3rd in the Girls 16 Category after round 10. She will be playing on board 2 tomorrow. Her opponent is WFM Meri Arabidze of Georgia. Let us all pray for her victory tomorrow. Also our high hopes to Jan Emmanuel Garcia and Cheradee Chardine Camacho who are veterans to this tournament.

After round 10 here is our players scores.


My parents said it is Ok that I am not able to join this time though they felt I needed to be with the team for the exposure, experience and a chance to boost my skill. They said it may also be a nerve wrecking experience for them if I will be traveling without a chaperon, and as they stand-by and wait for each games result. And to think of it, I only just turn 9 last July. Can I already manage to the do all those nitty gritty things my Mama used to do with me like preparing my milk and giving me vitamins before going to bed? Preparing my shirts and pants and actually doing some laundry. And if I dont like the food, she will walk a few kilometers to buy me good food. It will be a lot lot easier for us kids if we will be accompanied by our parents. We only have to mind our games. I still remember for two nights before the rapid game started my Mama and I reviewed some of the games of my opponents to be. Some of the parents have to call their kids coaches for advice and game reviews. Spending international calls everyday and did not mind at all. Super parents they are, they will do everything, wherever, whatever.
