I would like to congratulate Vicmil Pepito, for winning the Class B Category of the "Sangguniang Kabataan Tournament" held last December 15. Pepito has a very young son, Jeremy who is a talented chesser as well and is one of the best Kiddies player in Cebu and perhaps in the whole Region 7. In second place is Lapu Lapu City's Allan Pason.
Cebu's top juniors Alfer Fernandez and Diego Claro were also in contention of 2nd place but had inferior tiebreaks compared to Pason's. Therefore Fernandez and Claro had to settle for 3rd and 4th places, respectively. Still a commanding position though!

The following is a list of those who were able to catch up with 7th-10th places: Hector Villamora (I don't know him but I think he's very strong due to his standings in the tournament), William Retanal (pambato ng Minglanilla), Peterson Sia (Cebu's No.1 chess librarian), and Michael "Silver" Silverderio, a specialist in the Chigorin defence (1 d4 Nc6)
PS
As all of Cebu may have already know, The XMAS Open at the Deep Blue Chess Club is going on. Sadly, I will not be able to cover the event because of a LONG vacation awaiting for me this Christmas season.
Anyways, I wish best of luck to all the participants and even our beloved organizers in organizing the event. Maayong Pasko Ninyong Tanan!
