Manchester United only considered Mauricio Pochettino to revive fortunes of troubled club

From the moment Manchester United executives were made aware of Mauricio Pochettino’s availability, he stood alone – the only candidate as the troubled club set about hiring a new coach. With results tanking and the 20-time English champions languishing in the Premier League relegation zone, something had to be done. Who could revive the fortunes of the once dominant force after more than a decade of decline? In the end it came down to a choice of one. Unfortunately for the US men’s national...

There was dirt drama at Sha Tin on Saturday with the middle of three races on the surface abandoned due to safety concerns from the jockeys following 55mm of overnight rain.

Indian GM seizes lead in Misamis Occidental international chessfest

SINACABAN, Misamis Occidental — Grandmaster Chakraborty Mayank of India defeated Filipino International Master Paulo Bersamina on their top board duel, Nov. 14 to seize the solo lead after five rounds of the Misamis Occidental Philippines International Chess Championship at the AMORAP Aquamarine Park  here. The second board match between Grandmaster NR Vignesh and Soham Bhattacharyya of India, meanwhile, ended in a draw, as well as the all -Filipino bout on board 3 between International Master Jan Emmanuel Garcia and FIDE Master Phil Martin Casiguran. They all carded 4 points in the company of GM Nguyen Duc Hoa of Vietnam and the Filipino pair of GM Daniel Cuizon and IM Christian Gian Carlo Arca who all won their respective fifth round matches against Russian IM Miroslav Vlasenko and local boys Mardonio Fuentes and Edmundo Gatus. The country's only Woman Grandmaster Janelle Mae Frayna held off the top-seeded Macedonian GM  Evgeny Romanov to a draw to join a big bunch of 3.5 pointers, including Filipino GM Darwin Laylo, Indian FIDE Master Bastar Batbaatar and veteran Filipino IM Ronald Bancod. Trailing Bersamina (4 points) by half a point, the 17-year-old Indian sensation Mayank (3.5 points) appeared to be in the receiving end of an Open Sicilian defense opening when the Filipino gave up a pawn to open the a-file for a strong Queen-size attack. But Mayank expertly maneuvered the white King in an exciting middle game en route to a safe haven in the opposite side of the board. He later gained another pawn and threatened a third pawn capture with a Queen-to-Queen that led to Bersamina's resignation after 51 moves in the face of the opposition's unstoppable two connected passed pawns. "Actually, may advantage si Bersamina at may chance manalo hindi lang nya natira ang crucial b3 move naunahan pa sabog sana ang posisyon," later commented Asia's first Grandmaster Eugene Torre in a casual conversation with the Manila Times. On board 2, a daring pawn thrust by the white-wielding GM N R Vignesh to the 6th rank complicate matters, but not enough to scuttle his countryman Bhattacharyya who survived in a 38-move draw of a Nimzo Indian defense Rubinstein variation. Playing white on board 3, Garcia's experience as a three-time Olympiad campaigner was evident in his Reti Opening encounter with the 15-year-old Casiguran, employing the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack. But the young blood from the famed Dasmariñas Chess Academy, who earlier upset GM Laylo, saw a theoritical book draw in a Rook-Knight versus lone Rook without pawns endgame. After seven hours and over 100 moves as the last pair left in the playing venue, Casiguran cleverly claimed the 50-move rule draw, despite a Rook-taking skewer by Garcia. The nine-round Swiss system tourney took a Saturday afternoon break with the Misamis Occidental tourism staff guiding the participants to a tour to the enchanting Global Garden up in the Highlands of Tangub City among other tourist destinations in the province.

Pierre Ng’s sprint switch pays off with Johannes Brahms an upset Panasonic Cup winner

Championship-leading trainer Pierre Ng Pang-chi’s move to switch Johannes Brahms to sprinting paid dividends when the Irish import caused an upset at $34.75 in Saturday’s Class Two Panasonic Cup (1,200m) at Sha Tin. Third in the Classic Cup (1,800m) and sixth in the Hong Kong Derby (2,000m) in 2024, the Siyouni gelding lost form last season and bled from both nostrils in April, prompting Ng to give him an extended break. He returned with two solid but unspectacular runs over 1,000m and 1,200m...
