The squad is composed of Dennis Gutierrez 3rd, Ronald Canino, Julius Gonzales, Daryl Unix Samantila, Irish Yngayo, Samantha Glo Revita and the San Diego sisters Jerlyn Mae and Marie Antoinette.
Gutierrez and Canino will be seeing action in Open 8-under, Gonzales in Open 10-under and Samantila in Open 12-under. Jerlyn Mae and Yngayo will compete in girls 8-under while Marie Antoinette and Samantha Glo take part in girls 12-under.
“We’re sending our top players in the different age-group categories and we’re confident of doing well here in China,” said National Chess Federation of the Philippines President Prospero Pichay Jr.
The players were selected based on their impressive exploits in the 12th Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Age-Group Chess Championship held in Tarakan, Indonesia recently.
“Most of our players are in good shape right now. They are all well-prepared and better-trained,” added Pichay.
