Richelieu Salcedo III and Christian Nanola pulled off crucial sixth round victories over their higher-ranked rivals to rule their respective divisions in the Southern Luzon leg of the 2009 Shell National Youth Active Chess Championships at SM City in Batangas City last Sunday.
Salcedo, the fifth seeded player from Rizal Technological University, upended second seed Sheider Nebato in the penultimate round of the seven-round Swiss system tournament then drew with FEU’s Luffe Magdalaga to capture the juniors division crown with 6.5 points.
Nanola, the 15th-ranked bet from Laguna College of Business and Arts, toppled No. 3 Patrick Dulay in the sixth round then outplayed Jessther Reano in the final round to complete a sweep of the kiddies category of the event under the Shell Active Chess program, which supports the empowerment of the youth as part of the company’s overall Sustainable Development commitment.
