                    [Summary] => 



The country’s top three grandmasters yesterday maintained that the ongoing Swiss system eliminator for the national team to the Asian Games in Qatar in December is flawed and does not serve the purpose of selecting the best players who will represent the country in top-level international tournaments.


Eugene Torre, Mark Paragua and Joey Antonio decided to skip the Asian Games qualifier not because they are wary of the opposition but because they believed that the format is risky and degrading to their status as grandmasters.
