The 1982 Philippine Junior champion halved the point with IM Felix Jose Ynojosa Aponte of Venezuela in the ninth and final round to finish solo second place with 5.5 points on account of two wins and seven draws. Fide Master Christopher Yoo of the United States halved the point with FM Gauri Shankar of India to notch 6.0 points and secure the coveted title.
