[Title] => Erring IM gets one-year ban
[Summary] =>
The National Chess Federation of the Philippines yesterday suspended International Master Ronald Dableo for one year and sacked five others for six months for their involvement in game-fixing in local and international tournaments last year.
The NCFP executive board slapped the suspension on the six players after it was established that Dableo fixed a game in the Malaysian Open and the rest conspired in a couple of local tilts last year as the chess body moved to rid itself of irregularities that have hounded the sport.

[Title] => RP chess blacklisted for unpaid FIDE dues
[Summary] => Still reeling from its gold medal shutout in chess in the recent 23rd SEA Games, the Philippines suffered another blow when it was blacklisted by FIDE for its failure to pay its arrears to the world chess body.
This came about after local chessers, led by top player GM Mark Paragua, were dropped from the quarterly listing apparently due to the failure of the National Chess Federation of the Philippines to settle its debts.
NCFP president Go Teng Kok admitted the association hasn’t paid its bills amounting to 5,000 euro dollars, roughly P320,000.
