MANILA, Philippines -- Filipinos posted contrasting results in the delayed first-round games played late Sunday in the ongoing first Asean Masters Chess Circuit in Tarakan, Indonesia.
Woman National Master Christy Lamiel Bernales suffered her first loss, bowing to Woman International Master Beverly Mendoza.
Bernales, daughter of a former taxi driver from Nueva Ecija, dropped to third in the WIM section with 3.5 points. She is now two points shy of clinching the WFM* title, according to the National Chess Federation of the Philippines.

*I believe this should be WGM, as a WFM title is below that of WIM.

Bernales' father is a game fixer. he fixes games for her daughter to get money from sponsors. in fairness, the girl has talent, but look at what happened after the loss to beverly, more losses. Karma of game fixing.
