Woman Grandmaster Janelle Mae Frayna lifted the Philippines to a shock 2.5-1.5 win over fancied Slovenia Saturday to barge back into the top 20 in the 44th World Chess Olympiad in Chennai, India.

Frayna pounced on an endgame meltdown by a higher-ranked International Master Laura Unuk to turn what appeared to have been a drawn duel into a 66-move victory of an English Opening on top board that sealed the match.

WIM Marie Antoinette San Diego was the lone casualty after she lost to WIM Lara Janzelj on third board. And the 39th-seeded Filipinas could climb even further if it could pull off another upset against the 12th ranked Hungarians in the ninth round set Sunday.
