One chess player, a master caliber, played chess with his buddy.
Normally they would debate while playing.
It is a stategy to take the opponents mind off the game.
So Mr M. insisted that money is the most important thing
since dili makaon ang dungog.
I argued that money can be lost and stolen from you but honor will last even when you are long gone.
He said, look at me I played chess and made a living with it.
If I had valued honor,
I would be a master now by winning tournaments
and noone would play against me anymore and I wont make money anymore.
I said, di ba you played against Eugene Torre before?
He said Yes, I beat him.
So you played better than Torre that time. He said Yes!
See, Torre now is a Grandmaster.
He is given honor by our President.
He is highly respected by all chess players.
Infact, he is receiving P1 million a year just for being a grand master.
Ikaw asa man ka karon?
Kung givalue pa unta nimo ang dungog,
ug wala pa unta ka magbaligya sa imong games during tounaments,
Grandmaster na sad unta ka karon.
