Yes!, for the 3rd time, I finally made it! Proudly displaying my trophy, which I share to my teammates, my friends, my coach Chris Rodriguez, my family Papa Rey, Mama Dina and sister Dindin, to our beloved Malabon Mayor Tito Oreta. Two wins in a row! I am grateful for the trainings I had with GM Bong Villamayor.
My training under him has added greatly to my skills and talent. He helped me to set my games to the next level. And I thanked him for the opportunity to be one of his students. With the goal of being a good chess player it compliments my other training with my coach Chris Rodriguez.

Blindfold chess is a way to play chess, whereby play is conducted without the players having sight of the positions of the pieces, or any physical contact with them. This forces players to maintain a mental model of the positions of the pieces. Moves are communicated via a recognized chess notation. (source: Wikipedia)
I made no illegal moves... And I won this game! Finished the game with a back rank mate by Rook with a Queen and Knight combination.
Regular training from morning ....
till night... Mga kuya, lowbat na kayo noh! Well, ako rin eh. =)
Beautiful trophies were given out to the winners. And one of them is mine! =)
