A team event?
Oh yeah? How come there is no info about it on the Brunei Chess website?
Who is holding this event??
Campo??
Campo I know is not playing chess any more. I recall him as being the most honest chess official. Is he FIDE Master?
It’s a hoax tournament. Never happened.
Never heard of the Manila Grand Opera Hotel.
‘The championship will see teams from Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia, Myanmar, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Thailand and host country Philippines vying for honours.’
Malaysia is undoubtedly the worst chess playing country I ever saw in my life.
I can give all Malaysians a knight odds and win.
