To think that Vishy acknowledged from an interview with Susan Polgar that he learned the rudiments of the game from his mother via a chess program aired over a national TV hosted presumably by Campomanes in the Philippines, gives us Pinoys some hope that a World Champion from our ranks will emerge someday.

Will WESLEY SO rise to the occasion? Good luck!

And to ANAND and KRAMNIK,

MY WARMEST FELICITATIONS!!!

Congratulations Anand, no doubt you inspire a new generation of upcoming chess players. I am however disappointed that the WCC seem to be lost on the world news scene. I remember the Fischer/Spassky games which electrified the world and drew thousands to the chess table.

The world of chess needs to be energized again. Are you the one?
