Get them all!
International Masters Jayson Gonzales and whiz kid Wesley So will be competing in the Rep. Prospero "Butch" Pichay Jr Cup and National Open Championship and Chess Challenge and 3rd Singapore Masters and Challengers International Open next month.
December 18-23 at SM City Manila will be The Pichay Cup and the Singapore Masters set on December 26-31 at the Newton Road in Singapore.
The seasoned Gonzales of the Philippine Army is going to try and get his 3rd and final GM norm before the end of the year. He got his first two GM norms in the Calvia Open in Spain and Malaysian Open in Kuala Lumpur in 2004 and 2005, respectively.
On the other hand, my fellow Caviteno, 13-year-old Wesley So, might complete his GM title by 2007. If you will remember, So got his first GM norm early this month in Badweisee, Germany. He became the youngest IM and olympic member at the age of 12. The probability of So becoming one of the youngest GM's in the world is very high.
What about Oliver Dimakiling?
