" I have to train hard for this fight to give my best and to give good show," said Faeldonia, a Grade 11 student of Arellano University under the watch of coach NM Rudy Ibanez, emerged as one of the youngest chessers with a National Master (NM) title after ruling the National Youth and Schools Chess Championships Under-17 division held online via the Hybrid Tornelo platform from June 10-13.
"I will do my very best to win the tournament," said Bernardino, an online Arena Grandmaster who is also a veteran sportswriter who will celebrate his 44th birthday on August 5.
Organized by Bayanihan Chess Club under the leadership of Dr. Joe Balinas and Engr. Antonio "Uncle Paps" Balinas.
