MANILA, Philippines---Chester Neil Reyes defeated Fide Master Samant Aditya S of India in 61 moves of a Sicilian defense to stay on top with three others after six rounds of the FIDE Online Rapid World Cup Cadets & Youth online chess championship Open 16 and under virtually held at Tornelo Platform Thursday.
The Rodriguez, Rizal province bet Reyes tried to keep on pressure his opponent Queen to squeeze out a victory from a slight positional advantage.
They were joined at 5.5 points by International Masters Denis Lavazuk of Belarus, Fide Master Rohith Krishna S of India and Ruben Fernandez Lopez of Spain.
“Chester is really underrated and he is showing in this tournament that he is one of the world’s best top junior players. He just needs a break and more exposure and I think this will be his breakthrough in an international tournament", said Coach Richard Villaseran, founder of King’s Gambit Chess School, where Reyes trains from time to time.
"Chester was already very strong when he started with us so we just try to help him in some aspects of his game. whenever he attends our advanced/masters class. We really believe that he has what it takes to be a grandmaster in the near future," added Villaseran.-Marlon Bernardino-
