Near Win for Dimakiling

Pinoy fans, observing on chessgames.com, were getting a little bit excited over the round 3 clash between Oliver Dimakiling and GM Hichem Hamdouchi in the 3rd Calvia Festival. In a completely winning position, the game suddenly ended a draw!

Here is the game.



Instead of 35. Ne5, 35. Rh8+ would have given the Pinoy a 3/3 start.

Pinoy scores after round 3 are:

Gomez, Dimakiling - 2.5
So, Laylo - 2
Gonzales - 1.5

Wesley So wsa beaten by a mere Sergey Fokin, so i wonder who is this guy, i few click from my mouse reveals a veteran chess master, a russian! tsk tsk tsk next time dont be swindled by their rating, for a given day a player such as Fokin can make moves like GM, actually Fokin might be of IM strenght.Is he a relative of I. Fokin who have a game against janowski in my database? But i have one thing for sure, its either Fokin ang ama nyan o Fokin ang ina nya!

The application itself was first created by a Pinoy who lives here in Sydney, Robert Ambalong. This was not meant to be used in the manner I am doing (i.e. for the blog). But Andrew Ooi, in Malaysia, made some modifications so that we can make use of Robert's ingenuity for a blog posting.

Andrew's version is avaliable here.

The steps:-
1. Copy the PGN (1 game only) into the text box.
2. Click "Generate:
3. Copy and Paste the resulting code into your blog post.
