Peterson wins 3rd Lapu Lapu Monthly Tourney

Peterson Sia, one of the respectable chess veterans of Cebu City, recently won the 3rd Lapu Lapu Monthly Chess Tournament after garnering 6.5 points out of 7 rounds in the 15-minute Rapid chess event. Behind him in second place was Lapu Lapu chess prodigy Allan Pason with an incredible 6/7 points. Last month's winner, Ariel Joseph Abellana, only managed to take 3rd place although still a commanding position.



The biggest disappointment in the event was NM caliber Romeo "Ramil" Resuera who only managed to collect 5/7 points and landed 4th place. Ramil is considered as an institution in Lapu Lapu Chess, particularly in the playing arena. Anyways, other participants who were able to catch the 5th-10 places were:

5th Aldwin Daculan-5.0 pts, 6th Norman Olayvar-4.5 pts, 7th Jovanie Borongan-4.5 pts, 8th Amado Olea-4.0 pts, 9th Ezekiel Limpot-4.0 pts, 10th Julius Tumulak-4.0 pts. Sadly missed in the tournament were Kraig Quinain, Alvin Regodon, and Nilo Bonganciso. Hoping to play chess with you guys later :) Guest sponsor for this month was the Church of God in Mactan.



And as always, I would like to personally thank Jun Olis and Norman Olayvar for their ever-loving support on Lapu Lapu Chess. 


Mabuhay ang Lapu Lapu!
