Not to be outdone were fellow King's Gambit players Jeremy Martcio and Tiv Omangay who ruled separate tournaments as well as National Master Keith Ilar who was co-champion. Marticio ruled the men's division of the round robin 3rd CEFAG Rapid Chess Tournament while Omangay captured the Open Non-Master Rapid Chess Challenge in Pamapanga. NM Ilar on the other hand was co-champion in the Junior Category of the Road To Singapore Qualifying tournament held in Cagayan de Oro. These are all part of King's Gambit Online Chess School players preparation for top national tournaments such as National Age Groups, National School Youth, National Juniors, Palarong Pambansa, Men's and Women's National Team Qualifiers and ASEAN and Eastern Asia Age Group as well as World Cadets.
