00:00Good afternoon sir Rafael and sir Paolo, thank you for inviting me here in PT.

00:14Okay, so let's start our conversation.

00:17We'll just ask, GM, how was your journey as one of the most successful wood pushers in the country?

00:29Of course, I'm very happy because I achieved my goal of becoming a Grandmaster.

00:35That's one of my dreams for all chess players.

00:41Can you tell us, Daniel, about your journey?

00:45How did you become a GM at the age of 20?

00:51Last year, you used your GM status.

00:55I started when I was 6 years old.

00:59I was taught by my father.

01:01Since then, my training continued.

01:06Then I joined tournaments.

01:09One of the most important things to become a GM is to play in international tournaments.

01:16That's where I got the support of the city of Dasmariñas.

01:21Since I was 12 years old, they supported me to play in international tournaments.

01:32So, GM Daniel, we know that you started playing chess when you were 6 years old.

01:38And your LGU supports you since you were 12 years old.

01:43That means, since you were young, this has been your career path.

01:48Correct?

01:50Yes.

01:53What is your method?

01:56Since you were young, you became a partner, right?

02:00So, since you were young, you were already challenging what you wanted to do in your life.

02:07Who was your inspiration to join this sport of chess?

02:15My father introduced me to chess.

02:18Since then, he saw my potential and love for chess.

02:22That's why he supported me since I was young until now.

02:28Okay.

02:29So, your status as a GM is a big deal for the Philippines, right?

02:36Because we waited 13 years before we had a Filipino GM.

02:41So, what was your feeling when you finally finished that 13-year drought?

02:47Of course, I was very happy because our last GM was in 2011.

02:55And now, we have a new one.

02:58I was very happy because I achieved it.

03:03But Daniel, I also want to ask you.

03:06What are your plans to achieve...

03:09Do you have a next target after this GM?

03:14Do you have a next target after this GM?

03:17For sure, Super Grandmaster title.

03:19Is that included in your goal?

03:23After I achieve the Super Grandmaster title,

03:27my next goal is to become a Super Grandmaster.

03:30To achieve that, I need to participate in international tournaments.

03:37Do you have a timeline?

03:39When do you want to achieve it?

03:41Do you have a timeline?

03:45I have future tournaments.

03:47Next month, I have an invitational tournament in Indonesia.

03:52That's one of my chances to increase my rating and become a Super Grandmaster.

03:58Speaking of rating,

04:00Daniel is now a Grandmaster.

04:04His next plan is to become a Super Grandmaster.

04:07Yes.

04:08GM, can you explain to us?

04:10In chess, there is an ELO system or ELO rating.

04:15Where is your ELO rating now?

04:17And how does it increase?

04:21My live rating now is 2471.

04:25To achieve the Super Grandmaster title,

04:28Super Grandmaster,

04:30I need to have a rating of 2600.

04:36That's a big leap.

04:38Is that right?

04:40Yes, because the rating of 2700 is really hard to achieve.

04:45That's why becoming a Super Grandmaster is really hard.

04:50Do you have a timeline?

04:53We know that it's challenging for a partner

04:55because you don't know when you can achieve something.

04:59But just like my partner's question,

05:02GM, do you have a timeline?

05:04How many years do you think we need to grind

05:09to achieve this status?

05:16I think it will take a few more years to achieve that.

05:20It also depends on the tournaments that I join.

05:23If there are a lot of people or not.

05:27There's a big chance that I can achieve that

05:31if I join a lot of tournaments.

05:36GM, we know that you have a lot of tournaments that you want to join.

05:41But can you take us behind the scenes?

05:43How do you practice and prepare for a Chess Grandmaster

05:49when there are competitions?

05:52What do you do?

05:55The most important thing is to be consistent in your training.

06:00Study a lot of openings.

06:03Puzzle.

06:05And play every day.

06:09Who are your teammates?

06:11Because they say, partner, iron sharpens iron.

06:15I'm sure that GM Daniel Quizon's teammates are really good.

06:20Who are your teammates?

06:22Who are your cross-trains that really help you prepare?

06:29Or in other words, who do you always lose to every day?

06:35Sometimes, it's just online.

06:38Because all the strong players are there.

06:41In Chess.com and League Chess.

06:43Sometimes, I play against top players in the world.

06:47It's a big experience for me.

06:51When you said top players in the world,

06:54can you give us an example of who you play against online?

06:59Because it's very interesting, right?

07:01They play against each other online.

07:04Abduz and Brother Becca.

07:07I think he's top 5 in the world right now.

07:10And Lanny Halser is one of the top players in the world right now.

07:15What's your dream?

07:17Do you also have a dream to play against,

07:22aside from the top world-rated wood pushers that you play against online?

07:28Do you also want to face or dream to face

07:33the international events of chess in the coming years or in the coming months?

07:40Do you have...

07:41Maybe part of his dream match?

07:44Your dream match?

07:48Of course, I also want to face our world number one,

07:52Magnus Carlsen.

07:54Currently, he's the world champion of FIDE,

07:58Gokesh.

08:00My dream tournament is

08:03the World Rapid and Blitz Championship.

08:08You know Magnus, right?

08:10I always see him on Facebook.

08:12He's always talking about his life.

08:15Do you also want to face Magnus one day?

08:23I think that's one of the psychology of chess.

08:28I hope it doesn't become a psychology of chess.

08:37That's a big thing.

08:39I just realized that.

08:41If you think about it,

08:43it might be a forfeit.

08:45You might get rattled.

08:48Do you, GM Daniel,

08:50also have mind games when you compete in chess?

08:57No, I don't.

08:58It's just chess.

09:00It's a pure strategy.

09:02His game reflects his ability.

09:08But other than chess,

09:10do you have any other game

09:12for other athletes?

09:16When they play a sport,

09:18they also need to divert from other sports.

09:21So that they won't get tired.

09:23But we all know that chess is a game of mind.

09:28It's really pure in our minds.

09:31But for you, other than chess,

09:33do you have any other game

09:35to balance your lifestyle?

09:43Maybe basketball.

09:45It's just an exercise in the morning.

09:49What can you say about Luca being in the Lakers?

09:56His training is amazing.

09:58It's really amazing.

10:00Even GM Kizan was surprised

10:02that Luca Doncic is in the Lakers.

10:07Other than that,

10:09GM Kizan,

10:10do you have any other Pinoy chess player

10:13that you can follow in your footsteps

10:16as a Grandmaster?

10:18Because 13 years is a long time.

10:21But do you think there will be

10:23other Pinoy Grandmasters

10:25that will follow you in the coming years?

10:28We have a lot of international players

10:31that will become GMs soon.

10:34My teammate, Michael Concio Jr.

10:38has a game in World Junior next month.

10:43So that's the chance to become a GM.

10:46Then we have a lot of other

10:48international Pinoy Masters

10:51like International Master Dima Keeling

10:54and International Master Paolo Bersamina,

10:57International Master Emmanuel Garcia

11:00and International Master Harides Pasco.

11:04So those are the players that

11:06are possible to become GMs.

11:09I hope so, partner.

11:11I hope they reach that status.

11:13But we know that in the last edition

11:15of SEA Games GM Kizan,

11:17chess was not included

11:19in the sporting events.

11:21But the good news is,

11:23SEA Games is coming in December.

11:26Chess will be included again

11:28in the sporting events.

11:31Are you ready for this specific tournament?

11:34Can you confirm that you will compete here?

11:41It's possible if chess is included

11:44in that event.

11:46It's possible to join.

11:49But your dream is to join

11:51SEA Games someday.

11:54Is this your first SEA Games?

11:57Is it right?

12:00It's my second time in Vietnam.

12:02It's possible to join here in Thailand.

12:06It's my third time.

12:08When was your first SEA Games?

12:10And what was the result?

12:14I joined SEA Games for the first time

12:16in 2019 in Suvi.

12:18I battled for gold in the last round.

12:21But I lost in the last round.

12:23That's why I didn't make it to the top 3.

12:25My second SEA Games

12:27was in Vietnam.

12:29My teammate,

12:31John Emanuele Garcia,

12:33won a bronze medal.

12:35But now that you have a new title,

12:38and you have experiences,

12:41unfortunately, it's over.

12:44But at least you have the experience, right?

12:46It's important, partner.

12:48Experience.

12:50And of course, he already has a title,

12:52and he will bring it here to SEA Games this year.

12:56Do you believe, GM Keyzone,

12:58that it will be a big confidence boost

13:01if you will be included

13:03in the 2025 SEA Games?

13:09Of course, it's a big thing for me.

13:11It's also a big experience

13:13because the players there

13:15who join,

13:17they are top players in their country.

13:19It's a good experience for me.

13:23Other than the competitions you mentioned earlier,

13:27do you have any upcoming competitions,

13:30tournaments that you are joining locally or internationally?

13:33Do you have any upcoming?

13:36On February 14,

13:39in Indonesia,

13:41it's a GM Tournament.

13:43It's an invitational.

13:44As for upcoming tournaments,

13:46I don't have a schedule yet.

13:48But I'm ready.

13:50GM Keyzone is such a dedicated partner.

13:53On February 14,

13:54he won't have a date.

13:56He will fight in Indonesia.

13:58Actually,

13:59don't you have a date yet?

14:02Maybe the one you want as a date

14:04is the gold medal, partner.

14:06Oh, that's possible.

14:11But,

14:13I saw GM Keyzone

14:15during the PSA Awards Night.

14:18He is one of the winners.

14:20So,

14:21GM,

14:22how do you feel

14:23knowing that this PSA Awards Night

14:25is a collection of the best athletes in the Philippines

14:29and you are one of the ones

14:31who got to know this event?

14:36Of course, I'm very happy.

14:40It's a great honor for me

14:42to be part of the PSA Major Awards.

14:45I'm very thankful to God

14:47for this achievement.
