MANILA---National Master/Coach Gerald Ferriol of the Philippines came close to stunning heavily favored Grandmaster Lalit Babu M R of India and barge into the top 2 but blew his golden chance with critical mistakes in the end, resulting to a heartbreaking defeat in the ninth and final round on Sunday night, October 30, that sent him crashing out from the top 2 of the 20th Bangkok Chess Club Open 2022 Individual Chess Championships held at Shangri-La Chiang Mai Hotel, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
