"I hope to perform well," added Cainta, Rizal based de Guzman, a former Asian junior champion. Young and De Guzman played for the Philippines in the Asian Chess Team Championship in Genting Island Malaysia in 1989. De Guzman is a product of the GM Rosendo Carreon Balinas Jr. School of Chess who inspired generations of Filipino chess players. The late Balinas is best remembered as the 1976 Odessa International Tournament champion becoming only the third foreign player at that time to win an international tournament inside the Soviet Union since world champion José Raúl Capablanca did it in Moscow in 1936 and GM Reuben Fine's wins in Leningrad in 1937 and Moscow, also in 1937. -Marlon Bernardino- Click here to view a list of other articles written by Marlon Bernardino.  |
