By Marlon Bernardino PhilBoxing.com Mon, 17 Mar 2025
San Jose, Batangas---Woman FIDE Master (WFM) Ruelle "Tawing" Canino has just won the premier Under-18 Open standard division of the National Age Group Chess Championships last Saturday at the FPJ Arena in San Jose, Batangas.
The 16-year-old Cagayan de Oro-born Canino racked up 6 wins and 2 draws to finish on top after 8 rounds with 7.0 points. With her win, she earned a slot in the 2025 Asian Youth Chess Championship to be held on November 20 to 30 in Bangkok, Thailand.
It was another feat for Canino, one of the top players of the multi-titled FEU chess team who topped the National Women’s champion over older, more experienced masters and then beat three Women Grandmasters in helping seal the national team a historic Group II gold medal in last year’s Budapest Olympiad.
"I am happy with my performance," said the UAAP juniors MVP.
She defeated Juncin Estrella (round 1), nm Michael Jan Stephen inigo (round 2), Yuri Lei Paraguya (round 3), nm Phil Martin Casiguran (round 4) and FIDE master Christian Gian Karlo Arca (round 5) and Lemmuel Jay Adena (round 6).
