NATIONAL MASTER (NM) Jerad Docena (ELO 2227) of the Philippines played even better in his third game in the on-going World Junior Chess Championships 2013, turning back International Master Richard Wang of Canada on Monday being held at The Ness Hotel in Kocaeli, Turkey.
The Tagubaas, Antequera, Bohol native Docena raised his total to 2.0 points in three outings to climb at 22nd to 47th places, together with his fourth round opponent Sunilduth Lyna Narayanan (ELO 2408) of India.

The San Andres, Manila based Fronda was stuck at 1.0 point, and was dropped into a tie for 48th to 66th place along with her fourth round opponent Woman Fide Master (WFM) Assaubayeva Bibissara (ELO 1761) of Kazakhstan.
No.3 WGM Aleksandra Goryachkina (ELO 2418) of Russia, No.9 WIM Zhai Mo (ELO 2309) of China and No.11 WIM Warda Aulia Medina (ELO) of Indonesia are showing the way in the Girls Division with 3.0 points each.
