MANILA, Philippines — Iranian Grandmaster Amir Bagheri will reinforce the Toledo Trojans in the upcoming Wesley So Cup that begins on May 15. “We are blessed to have GM Amir on board,” said Toledo City’s Atty. “It isn’t easy finding a foreign player let alone a Grandmaster,” recounted Gacang of their efforts to secure an import for the Wesley So Cup. “The task of finding a foreign player was delegated to our team captain, Bonn Rainnauld Tibod, and manager, Felix Poloyapoy Jr.,” added Gacang. “It’s overwhelming to see that the passion and dedication of the team tripled knowing that GM Amir is joining us,” summed up Gacang.
