According to reports that are circulating around the Filipino chess community on the web, IM Joseph Sanchez became the 11th grandmaster of the Philippines. Joseph Sanchez earned his 3rd and final Grandmaster norm during the just concluded 23rd Cannes Chess Festival in France where he finished in joint third place and with performance rating of 2635.
