Seasoned woodpusher Allan Cantonjos emerged as the champion in the 11th Carlo and Wendy FIDE rated Standard Chess Tournament held last July 19-20, 2025, at the Museo in Dipolog City.
Cantonjos, a former top player of Philippine Airforce chess team, pocketed the P30,000 purse and the trophy for ruling the tournament.

He had a near-perfect campaign after tallying 5.5 points in the six-round Swiss system competition.

"I am happy with my performance," said Cantonjos, who hails from Gingoog City.

Kevin Mirano, one of the top players of Philippine Army chess team also notched 5.5 points, but settled for second place due to lower tie break points.
