MONTESILVANO, Italy – Jirah Floravie Cutiyog of the Philippines notched her second straight win on Tuesday and vaulted to joint first in the FIDE World Youth Chess Championship at the Pala Dean Martin centro congressi in Montesilvano, Italy.

Showing the form that made her the PH chess prodigy, Cutiyog handled the white pieces with precision to tame Zuzanna Gaszka of Poland in 42 moves of Caro-Kann Defense, Advance variation and raise her total to 2.0 points after second rounds in the Girls under-14 section.

The General Trias City bet Cutiyog whose stint here is being supported by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), Mayor Luis "Jon Jon" Ferrer IV, Vice Mayor Jonas Glyn Porto Labuguen, OIC City Sports Jon Jon Comandante and Vice Governor Athena Bryana Delgado Tolentino, will face Woman Candidate Master Bozhena Piddubna of Ukraine in the next round.
