ROUND 10 OF 2018
WORLD CHESS OLYMPIAD
(Oct. 04, 2018)
Honduras Swept Palau Women Team;
Open Team Lost 1-3 to Jersey
After the completion of the penultimate round, me and Cyril Tomas Montel, Jr. proceed to Hilton Hotel where our FIDE Delegate Eric Ksau Surangel Whipps and his wife Joy, Palau's Head of Delegation, were billeted.
Other members of Palau team were there already--Baby Edna Mission, Angelil Sisior, Angie Parrado, Rustum Cabuso and Palau's Rating Officer IA, IO Jamie Kenmure.
We had dinner at the lobby of the hotel and we proceed to the 20th floor of the hotel, where it is very cold and we need blankets to cope with the cold, windy and rainy night.
We share to them the story of the penultimate round--that both Palau teams suffered a shutout (women) and 1-3 thumping of the Open section team...
In the penultimate round of the 2018 World Chess Olympiad in Batumi, Georgia, the Palau Women's Team was swept by a very strong Honduras Women's team with Baby Edna Mission bowing at Board 1 to Any Figueroa (1739); Angelil Sisior was outclassed by Bitia Cruz (1702); Angelica Parrado's hunt for a WFM title was stalled by Marcella Garcia; Angelica Magno thought that she would win another one via time forfeit when her opponent, Nicole Garcia Andrea (1698) barely made her 40th move with less than a minute remaining to her first time control.
Honduras Women Team Captain Mario Garay received my face towel with design, my card and Palau Royal Resort brochure. I gave also my card/brochure to all the members of the team and to our Match Arbiter IA Gurmen Atilla of Turkey. We are talking a lot while the game is starting but whispering only.
