Salientes, Colonnade Open and Lapu Fiesta

First of all, I would like to congratulate Allan Salientes for winning the town of Consolacion's first ever open tournament, last October 21. Trailing behind him were a lot of 6-pointers with the likes of FM Antonio Makinano, Reynaldo Flores(arguably among the strongest attacking players in Cebu)., Michael "The Silver" Silvederio, and Sicilian specialist Yves Fiel. Rounding up the 6th to 10th places were Carlos Moreno III, Roumel Asoque, Aller Somosot (Hustler Master), and noted varsity players, Diego Claro and Michael Pagaran.

You may already know this, especially if you're a Cebuano chesser, that the Colonnade Open is near in sight, next Saturday. So umm,  Pahuway o Praktis? Hmmm...
Right along the oldest street in the Philippines, in Colon, a very important  chess event will take place.

GOOD NEWS! The MICA fiesta tournament is CONFIRMED and will commence in Lapu Lapu this November 17. Moreover, it is said that the tournament will use new and digital chess clocks. The tournament will use the "usual" 7-round Swiss System format, with time controls around 30 minutes. Interested outsiders will have to be in contact with MICA before they join.
