DARYL TOP KIDDIE 14 UNDER CATEGORY - 1ST Saturday MAGNOLIA Chess Tournament


The tournament is open for all Non-Master with 1950 Below NCFP Rapid Rating. I scored 4.5 on this tournament and named Top Kiddie Player for 14 Under category. At the start I somehow can`t get the right tempo. For 2 consecutive games I had time trouble. My 3rd game is a draw and I am able to pick up after that game. Antonette SanDiego was there and got the Top Lady. We received a trophy and goodies from Magnolia. I got to meet again my other kiddie chess player friends from the Tanyag Elementary School. It was two months ago when I first joined their tournament which is being organized by the Don Bosco Chess Club (Brgy. Don Bosco, Better Living, Paranque City) headed by Club's President Roland Roselda, VP Cecil Padua and Dr. Bong Perez. Before the opening they did acknowledged and congratulated me for being a silver medalist in the Asean Age Group that was held in Vietnam. And there was some picture taking with their participants in the chess olympics. It is such a good venue where I can able to play with good players rated and unrated. They held tournament on the same venue every 1st saturday of the month. Their next tourney is on August 2, 2008.
