On Tuesday, Young, the 8-time Illinois state champion proved once again his chess prowess in the blitz game, three minutes plus two seconds increment time control format by winning the Dunkin Donuts Chess Challenge held in Cubao, Quezon City with amazing performance on nine wins, two points ahead with solo second place National Master Julius Sinangote.
Rounding up to the top 6-cirle are Jason Rojo, National Master Robert Arellano, National Master and United States chess Master Almario Marlon Bernardino Jr., and ship captain Ronaldo "RNB" Banaag.
