MANILA---National Master (NM) Ivan Travis Cu of San Juan City ruled the just concluded GM Eugene Torre Cup dubbed as Search for Kid Grandmaster Semi-Finals Online Chess Championship held last Tuesday, November 2, 2021 at Lichess.org Platform.
The 12-year old Cu, a Grade 7 pupil of Xavier School in San Juan City came out on top with 6 points on account of six wins and one loss in seven outings in this 10 minutes plus 5 second increment time control format which attracted 86 young woodpushers.
Cu scored victories over Allie Jean Ong in the first round, Maria Kristine Lavandero in the second round, Richard Haiden Alarma in the third round, Yosef Immanuel Morada in the fourth round, Oshrie Jhames Reyes in the fifth round and Jian Carlo Rivera in the sixth and penultimate round.
He lost to Mark Noah Venatayen in the seventh and final round.
It shall be recalled that Cu got his elusive National Master (NM) title after winning the under 12 National Age Group Hybrid Chess Championships and a strong runner-up finish in the National Youth & Schools Hybrid Chess Championship Grand Finals U-13 Boys Category last June 2021.
Thus, Mayor Francis Zamora, Vice Mayor Warren Villa and the city council acknowledge Cu's contribution to San Juan City in the field of sports during the San Juan City celebrates 125th Pinaglabanan Day last August 2021.-Marlon Bernardino-
