Woman National Master Rowelyn Joy Acedo finished in second place at the 7th Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Sports Academy Blitz chess tournament on Saturday, April 12, 2025 at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Acedo had seven wins and two losses at the end of the blitz tournament with a time control of 3 minutes plus 2 seconds increment.
Acedo together with WGM Mahri Geldiyeva of Turkmenistan, Mariam Javakhishvili of Georgia, WIM Sristi Pandey of India and Eisa Mohamed Anoud of UAE had identical scores but Acedo had a better quotient.
GM Kateryna Lagno of Russia clinched the title with 8.5 points.
"One of the best moments of my career as a chess player," said the Dubai based Acedo, who hails from Davao City.
"Who would have thought I would have the chance to play against Grandmaster Kateryna Lagno? I almost drew the game in a pawn and took endgame. I want to give a shutout to mom for allowing me to play, and to my workmates and friends for cheering me on."
After losing to GM Lagno in the seventh round, Acedo bounced back winning the last two rounds against Zyralle Kindipan of the Philippines and WFM Wafia Darwish Al Maamari of UAE.- Marlon Bernardino-
