This after Daniel Quizon inched a few steps closer to becoming one after claiming his third and final GM norm following a magnificent, come-from-behind title conquest in the second and final leg of the Hanoi Grandmaster Chess Tournament in Vietnam Sunday.
But it didn't look like it early on after absorbing a stinging second-round defeat to Vietnamese FIDE Master Banh Gia Huy. “Hindi ko po inexpect na makuha ko dahil sa talo ko sa second round,” said Quizon, whose other GM results came in two Eastern Asia Juniors editions in 2018 in South Korea and last year in Kota Kinabalu.The Dasmarinas bet’s current live rating is 2460.6, including the 19.3 he earned in this leg and the 9.3 he gained in last week’s first leg where he finished tied for first before dropping to second after tiebreaks were applied.
And there’s the FIDE World Chess Olympiad in September where Quizon earned a spot and will make his debut after ruling the National Championships in Marikina last January.If Quizon eventually clinches the GM title, he would be the 17th Filipino to ever become one with the last coming 14 years ago when Richard Bitoon, now United States-based, achieved such status.
