The Quezon City Simba's Tribe and the Dasma Cavite Spartans reached the Northern Division quarter-finals of the 2024 Professional Chess Association of the Philippines (PCAP) online chess tournament after beating their elimination foes held at Chess.com Platform on Saturday, May 11.

The Simba's Tribe survived a tough challenge from Isabela Knights of Alexander, 11-10, while the Cavite Spartans defeated Cagayan Kings, 15-6.

“We were pushed to the limit by Isabela, but good thing our players stepped up in the rapid play,” said playing coach Michaela Concio, former top player of University of Santo Tomas during her College days.

“It was a tough win for us,” exclaimed Simba's Tribe playing team owner Danilo Ponay.

This is the first time that the Quezon City Simba's Tribe advanced to the knockout stages of the Northern Division.
Freddie Talaboc, NM Raymond Salcedo, Michella Concio, Eduardo Tunguia and Joseph Navarro played a vital role in Simba's Tribes’ rapid triumph over the Knights of Alexander.

Ricky Echala (Board 5) and Alvin Aguinaldo (Board 7) carried the fight for the Knights of Alexander after beating Francis Talaboc and Paulo Cristobal, respectively.

The Quezon City Simba's Tribe yielded to Isabela Knights of Alexander during their blitz encounter, 2-5, but came back strong with a 9-5, triumph in the rapid play.

Meanwhile, the Dasma Cavite Spartans bested Cagayan Kings, 6-1, in the blitz game and 9-5, in the rapid play.

The Cavite Spartans once again relied on the exploits of Kevin Arquero (Board 1), GM Rogelio "Joey" Antonio Jr. (Board 2), FM Carlos Edgardo Garma (Board 4), Alfredo Rapanot (Board 5), Alexis Emil Maribao (Board 6) and Renie Malupa (Board 7) to beat the Cagayan Kings in the blitz game.
