The National Chess Federation of the Philippines yesterday suspended International Master Ronald Dableo for one year and sacked five others for six months for their involvement in game-fixing in local and international tournaments last year.


The NCFP executive board slapped the suspension on the six players after it was established that Dableo fixed a game in the Malaysian Open and the rest conspired in a couple of local tilts last year as the chess body moved to rid itself of irregularities that have hounded the sport.
