07:59books and games

08:01are scattered on the table

08:03he studies

08:05the games of other players

08:07that is what I remember

08:09when I was young

08:11Josefa still remembers

08:13the times

08:15they are waiting for

08:17to get the news

08:20because he is always

08:22playing chess

08:24here in Manila

08:26there was a time

08:28that Manila Times

08:30sponsored

08:32participants

08:34from Mindanao, from Luzon

08:36from Visayas

08:38it was sensational

08:40before

08:42everyday

08:44it was on the front page

08:46of Manila Times

08:49we are in Bacolod

08:51we were only waiting for

08:53the newspapers

08:55to be able to read

08:57what happens

08:59with him

09:01here in Manila

09:03in his journey in chess

09:05he faced a lot of challenges

09:07and challenges

09:09it is heavy

09:11because there are travel expenses

09:13the hotel is heavy

09:15that is the problem of chess players

09:18it is hard to go out

09:20to become a GM

09:22not only the stages

09:24of chess

09:26until you become a Grandmaster

09:28but also the financial constraints

09:30because you need

09:32a sponsor

09:34that is why

09:36he became a lawyer

09:38I observed

09:40as much as possible

09:42he is self-supporting

09:45what he saved

09:47or what he worked on

09:49that is what he uses

09:51to go out

09:53to compete

09:55in the international

09:57so it is heavy

09:59because I saw

10:01his individuality

10:03there is no doubt

10:05that GM Rosiando has a lot

10:07of good qualities

10:09compared to other chess players

10:11he has

10:13his own school of thought

10:15because

10:17to compete in Russia

10:19there are a lot of school of chess

10:21school of thought

10:23all the Grandmasters

10:25there

10:27came from

10:29that school

10:31different schools

10:33his founder

10:35Michael Chigurin

10:37from Michael Chigurin

10:39maybe

10:41earlier

10:4318th century

10:4519th century

10:47he has games from 18th

10:49to 19th century

10:51he was the founder of

10:53the Soviet Union

10:55not yet Russia

10:57because

10:59Russia was incorporated

11:01in the USSR

11:03so there are a lot of schools

11:05of different

11:07Chigurin's founders

11:09so you can defeat

11:11the school of chess

11:13of the Soviet Union

11:15I am not saying Russia

11:17because it is just one country

11:19Soviet Union has a lot of Baltic countries

11:21so you can defeat

11:23those schools of thought

11:25he has a lot of introverts

11:27but when it comes to introverts

11:29when it comes to chess

11:31because it is not a physical game

11:33when it comes to being an introvert

11:35you can learn chess

11:37what is the difference?

11:39there are a lot of media publications

11:41about him

11:43when he won the match

11:45because he was taking care

11:47of the Soviet Union

11:49his World Championship

11:51until 1972

11:53now

11:551948

11:57when the Soviet Union

11:59became the 4th World Champion

12:01Papa

12:03was willing

12:05to share his knowledge

12:07and teach

12:09because that was his dream

12:11to have the Philippine Chess Foundation

12:13and the Philippine School of Chess

12:15so that was his willingness

12:17to teach

12:19the little kids
