Robert Godwin Sola, middle, receives his certificate of participation
in the 2015 Palau Blitz Chess Championship from Roberto Hernandez.
Robert's father is at right. There is a complex situation if Robert
joined the Palau team to 2015 World Youth U-16 Chess Olympiad in
Mongolia on Aug. 19-29. The Palau team that was sent there is the family
of Angie Parrado, her 3 daughters Destiny, Angelil and Kyarii Sisior,
together with her husband Harvey Sisior. Being not a member of the
family, Robert will encounter countless hurdles for being a minor
traveling with non-relatives.
