9th Dubai Open

Hi again!

I was checking the final result of the 9th Dubai Open and I was so glad to find our very own, Rustum "tum-tum" Tolentino landing on 3rd Spot out of 90 players. He had 7 points out of possible 9. 1st place went to IM El Taher Fouad of Egypt with 8.5 points and 2nd place went to FM Salem A R Saleh of the United Arab Emirates.

Other Filipino players in the event were Ernesto M. Yap who placed at 7th and scored 6.5, closely following him is Roberto Carandang also with the same number of points. Danny Baltazar at 14th, Reyjoy Barlotay, 18th, Axel John Valerio 21st, Marcial Augusto 3oth, FM Antonio Molina 40th, Anita Jasmin Valerio at 55, Carissa Joy Valerio at 62 and Meg Mendoza at 74th place.

Congratulations to all of you!
