Ang sabi ko nga kahit top 10 lang sya masaya na ko kasi experience narin para sa katulad nya na nangangarap po talagang makarating at makalaro sa ibang bansa at maging representative ng Pilipinas, kaso hindi naman po sya matuloy tuloy gawa po ng kapos sa budget at financial kaya kong mapapansin nyo wala po syang FIDE ratings pero hindi dahilan yun para hindi sya makalaban. Nakita ko na po sya ng potencial noong 8 yrs old plang sya at talagang mahilig na sya maglaro at panlaban na rin ng inter schools." "Subra syang na hilig sa larong Chess online kasi daw ma's nakakapag isip sya ng maayos at madami syang nkikitang tamang tira kaysa daw po sa actual board kaya minsan nagtatalo kami kasi ayaw nya sa board ako nag tuturo ma's madali daw sa computer kaya minsan gabing gabi na ito matulog minsan gumigising ng madaling araw naglalaro online sa Lichess, Chess. Com at FIDE online arena may mga friend daw kasi syang ibang lahi usapan nila ganun oras" he added. "Stay Humble and continues learning kahit anong mangyari at marating matotoong magpakumbaba at sana isa sya sa maging inspiration ng mga bata wag kaingitan at gawan ng maling issue kasi lumalaban tayo para sa bansang Pilipinas na dapat supportahan mabaet at masunuring bata yan." last word of elder Puso.-Marlon Bernardino- Click here to view a list of other articles written by Marlon Bernardino.  |
