ROUND 2 --
2018 WORLD CHESS OLYMPIAD-
PALAU OPEN AND WOMEN TEAM
SWEPT AGAIN
BY PANAMA AND MALTA
There's a strange thing that happened before the start of our 2nd round game with Malta in the Women Section of 2018 World Chess Olympiad in Batumi, Georgia on Sept. 25 that started at 3 pm.
Our Board 2, our player Angelil Sisior is facing a WFM player that looks like a Filipina, and her real name is really Filipina, with Thornton as her family name.
There is still less than an hour before the start of the game so we have long conversation with the team from Malta. She is really a Filipina settled in Malta.
Their Board 1 player WFM Oana Pulpan Caruana, has a rating of 1863 and from Romania. Her opponent, our Board 1 player Joan Gemota (1346). She scored a victory over Joan.
Angelil Sisior bowed to Filipina as well as her mom Angie Sisior Parrado to WCM Uranchimeg from Mongolia and the only girl from Malta, Milena Stagno outplayed Angelica Magno at Board 4 when the latter can't sustain his tactical position.
