PAULO BERSAMINA
(born Feb-01-1998) Philippines

[what is this?]
Bersamina won his FIDE Master title when he won the 11th ASEAN+ Age Group Chess Championship for the U12 division in Olongapo City in June 2010.

In 2010, at the age of 12 years 3months 23 days, he became the youngest player ever to win the National Junior Championship. He went on to win the 2nd Singapore International Youth Championships 2011 - Open U14 with 8/9. The Philippines team came 2nd overall (behind hosts Vietnam) in the 13th ASEAN+ Age Group Championships held in June 2012 in Hue City in Vietnam, with Bersamina winning 2 gold medals, 3 silver medals and a bronze medal in the U14 Team and Individual events.

Bersamina started 2013 strongly: playing in the 1st Chairman's Cup International Chess Championship in Manila, he scored 5.5/9 and a few days later competed at the Zonal 3.3 Open where he scored 4/9. These two events netted him 60 ratings points.

Apr-17-13  pinoymaster77: Hi joeyj,

Just to clarify/confirm, since you're always on top of the live ratings for our GMs and young Masters (per chessaccount pro-active and up to-date files) eh for those 'FIDE rated' like the last BOGM, the PSC Cup eh na-credit nga sa 'FIDE rating' ng players natin?

Well, I guess the 3.3 Zonals eh 'automatic' sa FIDE ratings, since FIDE event.

Apr-17-13  pinoymaster77: Pau,
Congrats again!

Like it or not, makaapekto din eh. Like yung sa 'standard' route of getting IM titles, eh aside from the 3 norms eh I think need to reach 2400 ELO rating.

Now this 'FIDE non-registration' of NCFP might also be the reason why the titles for Haridas Pascua (IM) and Janelle Frayna (WIM) ay di pa bumababa.

Yung mga 'outright titles' naman like IM for Richilieu Salcedo and Joel Pimentel na earned sa ASEAN Age Group and WIM for Bernadatte Galas from the recent 3.3 Zonals eh nagawad na, I see the titles across their names na in their last tournaments.

Yes e.g. kay FM Pau

konti lang ... maraming Local TournamentS na hindi kasali !

Apr-17-13  joeyj: Actually, the records of PHI are being maintained by FIDE despite our non-payment of FIDE dues. It appears the players are 'not rated' but as you monitor their individual records & tournaments participation e.g. FM Pau Bersamina's individual rating @ FIDE.com current naman.

For example, chess-results.com & Tournament organizers are provided by FIDE with players current records to be used in rating calculations.

Anytime the FIDE dues are settled & updated for sure FIDE will publish the respective players current ratings.

Apr-17-13  pinoymaster77: Thanks Prof joeyj, noted the Intl tournaments hosted dito and pag lumabas players natin eh counted sa FIDE.

For the Natl Age Group Finals, one could also get a sense of the cost considering there are at least 12 Divisions tapos kung 16 qualifiers eh round robin for 15 rounds. I think there is certain dollar rated fee per submitted game kung i-credit sa FIDE ELO...

Apr-20-13  spartan1998: "Vindicated"
by Dashboard Confessional

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated

[Chorus]
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I’m right
I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that

[Chorus]

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I’d be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away [3x]
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away [4x]

[Chorus]

Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption…

Apr-21-13  torrefan: That song goes well with ice cold beer. Root. Watching belly. Tuna (sizzling).
Apr-27-13  pinoymaster77: In the just concluded Palarong Pambansa 2013 in Dumaguete, for the STCAA teams its the turn of the Girls teams to fare well. I think for the FIRST TIME (since STCAA/Palaro monitoring/involvement of current players/parents for past 5 years) eh nag CHAMPION sa HS Girls through the veteran pair of Shania Mae Mendoza and WFM Marie Antoinette San Diego, both scored 6/7 with NCR's top board WIM Galas having 6.5/7 as top performer in Bd1. It helped that HS Girls Coach is Tony YU (Shania as Bd1) then Sta Rosa tapped Coach/NM/IA Erwin Carag as Trainer, as early as April 12 eh biyahe na via barko kasama STCAA players.

Cavite's duo of Holythurs Pangan and Rizalyn Tejada also held their own for STCAA Elem Girls, eventually finishing 3rd. Pangan was fresh from Age Group Natl Finals (di na tinapos to catch up with Palaro) while Tejada will reportedly join UE HS team after hurdling the tryouts.

Boys' teams not so fortunate with both HS Boys and Elem Boys finishing 7th. HS Boys was actually in top 5 through the rounds but had to run into the DAVRAA duo of Literatus/Batucan (joining NU) in the final round. Keneth and Elijah are still eligible for STCAA next year if they hurdle the earlier Meets again.

Luis Alano will reportedly join Lyceum in the NCAA, while tiny Daniel 'Den' Quizon is supposed to have many more Elem playing years if the family sticks it out in Rizal.

More Laguna/STCAA players are making it to UAAP/NCAA rosters these days and with the current pool of competitive players eh expecting this trend to continue.

Apr-27-13  etnadnaimad: Kaya nga dapat Lang na wag maglaro si Wes sa pacmac cup dahil wala naman suporta talaga ditto sa pinas. Fide dues lang di pa mabayaran. Mabubulok Lang mga chess masters ditto, di pa accurate ang rating dahil sa dues na di binabayaran. Kinukurakot siguro ang pambayad

  HeMateMe: Everytime I see this name, I think of the Beatles song "Besameucho".
Apr-28-13  pinoymaster77: Since North America based na si Wesley, he can proceed to do his thing there kung may commitments.

Meanwhile, patuloy na iikot ang mundo ang ahedres sa Pilipinas.

May organizations with objective na tulungan sa grassroots so PHI can catch up starting in the ASEAN, sana magkapondo na para makagalaw na ng husto.

Apr-29-13  spartan1998: Just finished biking, took a bath....

CT-Art, Studies, Strategy....

TF, ECS....

a long day....

May-15-13  pinoymaster77: All the best spartan1998 in the forthcoming ACC! Sa Sabado na!
May-21-13  pinoymaster77: Congratulations on the win vs IM Barlo Nadera, worth +9 yun! I think the first win over Barlo, in previous local tournaments eh he has been a tough nemesis.

May this be the start of Pau's run in the tournament.

Also scorching the trail are NM Emperado with 2 wins & 2 losses vs 4 GMs while untitled Roel Abelgas had back-to-back wins vs GMs Ghaem of Iran and GM Gundavaa. GM Ino in the solo lead with 4/4 and next meets GM Mac.

May-22-13  rusticbull: pau will face a very tough opponent in IM Kuderinov in round 5

Kuderinov ably defeated Le Quang Liem in the 2010 edition of ACC

goodluck, pau! sakmalin mo yan!!

  spawn2: Plus 10 si FM Pau going to this round. Makabreach ng 2300 would be a good result for him.

Plus of course, was surprised to see him during opening day wearing coat and tie. Bagay na bagay and tamang kasuotan for the tourney.

Go Pau!

May-22-13  spartan1998: Draw po kuya rusticbull after 138 moves, 9PM na po natapos. Rook ending po with 2 pawns ako at 3 sa kanya, but doubled f-pawns po sya. Pag mag ke-claim na po ako ang 50 move rule, itutulak nya ang pawn, then start na naman ako magbilang. Nung malapit na sa 50 ulit, pinakain na nya yung h-pawn nya, e di may passed h-pawn na ako with a rook for both of us, with my f-pawn and his doubled f-pawns. Buti po tinanggap na rin yung offer ko ng draw, kasi mag threefold repetition na ng position.
May-22-13  pinoymaster77: From a distance eh parang balik-balik na nga ng rook moves sila Pau and 'rock star' IM Kirill. Pakiwari ko nga eh over a hundred moves na sa dami ng arm movements (to make a move) and record the move!

Rest well, IM Das naman in rd6, he just gave some stiff resistance to their top GM Sasikiran before surrendering...

May-22-13  rusticbull: <Draw po kuya rusticbull after 138 moves>

hehe, super marathon yan. diyan pumapasok ang stamina. buti na lang, meron kang physical training.

yan ang laban!!

akala niya siguro, mag-blunder ka rin sa pagod. ang di niya alam, you're minted to fight up to your last sweat . . .

<9PM na po natapos>

6 hours na laro!! sarap nyo sigurong tingnan sa playing area, hehe. nakunan ba kayo ng photo nung kayong dalawa na lang? kawawa naman si IA Gene Poliarco sa kahihintay, hehe, baka ginutom yun

<Buti po tinanggap na rin yung offer ko ng draw>

Sya na sana ang inantay mong mag-offer ng draw, tapos i-reject mo, pang-inis, wehehehe (dyok dyok)

gudlak sa remaining rounds!! sweep!! sweep!!

May-23-13  rusticbull: the loss to IM Das came as a sad news, nalungkot ako kagabi

pero ganun talaga, kumpetisyon yan. may panalo, may talo. grabe rin ang preparasyon ng mga katunggali. siguro'y mas higit ang kanilang ginagawang sakripisyo sa preparasyon

kaya kailangang paigtingin pa lalo ang mga ginagawang paghahanda

may three rounds pa. make the most out of it.

laban nang laban!!

gudlak!! God bless . . .

May-24-13  spartan1998: Kuya rusticbull, tingin ko po slight plus ako kay IM Das before the first time control, na-swindle lang po ako sa panic time.

Maaga po ako ngayon natapos, 6PM. Draw po kay IM Nguyen Duc Hoa. Slaying the Dragon po ang laro, unfortunately, I did not convert it to a win. Queen po ako versus the Viet's rook and bishop, sayang po! Please pray for me in the last two rounds and in the Blitz tournament on Sunday afternoon. 9:30AM po ang last round, after lunch po yung Blitz. Nood po kayo, nandun po si Pastor Larry nung opening.
