Mr. Sison,
This is not a comment to the MCC post but a recommendation for another topic, though I can't find how to introduce a new topic. This is about IM Cardoso's Workshop in MERALCO and it goes like this:
IM Cardoso Holds Workshop in MERALCO
As part of MERALCO's 105th Anniversary this month, IM Cardoso conducted 1-day workshop for the children of MERALCO employees last March 1 at the MERALCO Center in Pasig City. Some 19 kids, including 2006 RP 8 & Under Champion Paulo Bersamina and Palarong Pambansa Bulacan bet Paul Casiano, attended. The IM focuses on the chess principles and delighted the kids with his very entertaining question and answer portion.
God bless.
