     SISIOR FAMILY TO 2015 WORLD
      YOUTH U-16 CHESS OLYMPIAD
                       IN MONGOLIA

IN THE 445^th Edition of Chess Mate by Roberto Hernandez on Tia Belau Newspaper dated July 04, 2011 (Volume 20 Issue 27), the 6^th stanza read as follows:

“They are in the middle of their game when Angie Parrado arrives with a lady friend and 2 daughters who can play chess and now in Level 4 of the computer chess software “Chess Titans”. They practice at one of the vacant chess table and Roberto Hernandez can’t resist taking pictures of the girls that may become CHESS FUTURE OF PALAU especially if they will be inspired by their mom representing Palau in 2012 World Chess Olympiad in Istanbul, Turkey.”

In the photo of this edition, its caption reads as: “Women’s Chess Future of Palau” 

Elizalde Madrinan, right, poses with the daughters of Angie Parrado, who are now at Level 4 of playing with chess software “Chess Titans”. Parrado drew her first round match vs. Menandro ‘Boy’ Manuel while her daughters are practicing chess using tournament size chessboard and chess clock. WATCH OUT FOR THESE GIRLS!

Angie didn’t make it to 2012 World Chess Olympiad due to tight schedule and budget but made it to the 2014 WCO in Tromso, Norway together with her daughter Destiny Sisior (Board 4), Gladys Anne Paloma (Board 2), Baby Edna Mission (Board 3) and Joy Flores Whipps (Reserve/Board 5). This is the first time that Palau was able to send a team in both Open and Women.

On Aug. 19-29, 2015, the World Youth U-16 Chess Olympiad will be held in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and it will be a family affair with Angie 3 daughters (Destiny, Angelil and Kyarii) will join after Ksau Anthony Flores Whipps, Cyrelle Ann Montel and Ultei Surangel skipped this event due to school calendar that will start a week before the Youth Olympiad.

This will be another milestone for Palau Chess with Angie being the Team Captain/Trainer while her husband Harvey Sisior will be the Head of Delegation.

While on his way for 22-day vacation in Philippines, Roberto was able to talk to Angie at the Palau International Airport. She said Destiny and Angelil are already in the Philippines for an intensive training with their relatives in the province for the preparation to this event.

And while on his way back to Palau at Ninoy Aquino International Airport on June 23, 2015, Roberto was able to talk to Joy, who is also coming back to Palau with her husband Eric, son Ksau and daughter Kayah. Roberto asked her, “Are you going to Mongolia?” It is there that she confirmed that all of them could not make it there.

One of the requirements for this event is Players who shall not have reached the age of 16, by
January 1st 2015. (Date of Birth 1999 and after) are entitled to participate. Each team
shall comprise 4 players and 1 reserve (one of whom must be a girl)
and 1 captain (or Manager, Trainer). (FIDE HB B. IV. 09. 5.) The

to promote Palau chess by participating as a World Youth Chess Team.
