Morazo, Medina rule Shell chess final
(The Philippine Star) Updated October 13, 2009 12:00 AM
MANILA, Philippines - John Ranel Morazo turned a big break into a winning moment, stunning the top two seeds to capture the juniors title while Vince Angelo Medina ran away with the kiddies crown in the 2009 Shell National Youth Active Chess Championships at SM Megamall last Sunday.
A substitute for fellow Univ. of Baguio student Leonardo Abalos, Morazo surprised second seed and erstwhile unbeaten Jan Emmanuel Garcia in the sixth round then shocked top seed Bryll Arellano in the eighth before toppling Luffe Magdalaga in the final round to clinch the victory.
Abalos topped the Tuguegarao qualifier but was among those trapped by floods in Baguio and failed to make it to the national finals. Morazo took over Abalos spot as fourth placer in the Northern Luzon leg and made the most of his stint, finishing with seven points and bagging the top prize of P30,000 in the 20-and-under category.
The fifth seeded Medina, who scored 4.5 points in the first five rounds of the 14-and-under division Saturday, sustained his fine form and racked up 3.5 points in the last four rounds, including a crucial upset win over second seed John Tabada in the seventh, to post a two-point victory over No. 1 McDominique Lagula.
The FEU-FERN student wound up with eight points and took home P20,000 plus trophy during the awards rites graced by Pilipinas Shell communications manager Bobby Kanapi and GM Eugene Torre.
Other guests were Nat’l Chess Federation of the Phils. president Butch Pichay, Sankie Simbulan, business and corporate communications manager of Pilipinas Shell, and Mich Cruz, government and media relations manager of Pilipinas Shell.
Paulo Bersamina of Padre Zamora Elem. School in Pasay won the Art Borjal award.
It was an inspiring win indeed for Morazo, a grand finalist in the last four years of the annual event, including the kiddies division in 2005, but never figured in the championship until he missed the grand finals for the first time this year.
Garcia suffered back-to-back losses after sweeping his first five games and dropped out of the juniors division lead. But the top Ateneo bet trounced Giovanni Romero in the eighth round and drew with Joseph Turqueza to salvage second place with 6.5 points worth P20,000.

Results of a Balanced Academics and Chess
I wanted very much to join the 4th PGMA Cup Chess Challenge but need to set priority, my schooling or this chess event. It happened that our summative tests were scheduled during that period and have to chose in either getting the exams or join the tournament.
When you miss school you miss a lot especially if you are a week absent. You would miss class discussions and notes. You also miss homework, quizzes, and tests. You can never make up everything you miss. If you are absent, you are responsible for finding out what you missed. In some important chess events where I really have to be absent and if I would miss a quiz or a test, my parents would talk to my teacher to find out how I can make it up. Then I do my make-up work as soon as possible.

Chess at certain stage and season can be of temporal priority. If you are good in school you can be better in chess. Manage and use chess in our advantage.
My Grade for the 1st grading period in spite of monthly chess tournament, a weekly varsity training and at least a three (3) hour everyday training at home.
