Manila---Johnny Wellem Carzano held his grounds steady and won the 2024 Iligan City Diyandi Festival Rapid Chess Tournament held at the Robinson's Mall, Level 3 in Iligan City last Saturday, September 14.

Carzano pocketed the P15,000 champion’s prize plus trophy after scoring 7.5 points in the rapid tournament organized by the Metro Iligan Chess Club.

"I'm starting to think I'm only happy if I'm winning my games. Even if I played a really solid game and ended up solo first place," said Carzano, the pride of Misamis Occidental, who is also fresh from winning the National Chess Federation of the Philippines FIDE rated Standard Tournament held last September 8 at the Philippine Academy Chess For Excellence in Mindanao Avenue, Quezon City.

Jose Bryan, Jones Maghuyop and FIDE Master Victor Bruce Lluch occupied the second to fourth spots with 7.0 points each while Rodney Opada placed fifth with 6.5 points.

Geronimo Romarate, Cosain Magarang, Abdul Halil Abdullah, Jaybee Velez, Abdul Hafids Sarangani, Jezreel Lopez, Romeo Madrid, Jonard Labadan, Johnnel Balquin, Randolph Christopher Dalauta and Mardonio Fuentes wound up sixth and 16th with identical 6.0 points.

In the Blitz division last Sunday, Dalauta reigned supreme after registering the highest output of 7.5 points. Magarang and Carzano settled for second and third with 7.0 points, while Balquin, Romarate and Julius Ablin occupied the fourth to sixth spots with 6.5 points each.-Marlon Bernardino-
