                    [Title] => RP bows to tough N’lands in chess
                    [Summary] => The Philippines failed to hurdle the biggest stumbling block to its dream Top 10 finish in the World Chess Olympiad, bowing to the Netherlands, 1-3, and virtually kissing its bid goodbye in the 11th round at the Olympic Village in Turin, Italy Friday.


GMs Mark Paragua and Eugene Torre succeeded to hold GMs Ivan Sokolov and Sergey Tiviakov to a draw on the top two boards, respectively, but GM Joey Antonio was stopped on his tracks by Loek Van Wely, who dealt the erstwhile top Filipino performer his first defeat in nine games.
