                    [Summary] => Grandmaster Buenaventura "Bong" Villamayor celebrated his birthday in style yesterday, beating erstwhile solo leader International Master Mark Paragua in 98 moves to climb into second place behind his victim and two other bidders in the 12th round of the National Chess Championship Grand Finals at the All Asia Capital Center in Makati City.


Villamayor, who turned 35, adopted GM Eugene Torre’s pet Trompovsky with satisfactory results, moving half a point behind the leaders along with GM Rogelio Antonio and NM John Paul Gomez with 7.5 points.

                    [Summary] => Mark Paragua dealt fellow International Master  Chito Garma a stunning defeat yesterday to regain the solo lead going into the last four rounds of the  National Chess Championship at the 17th floor (Penthouse) of the All Asia Center in Makati.


The 18-year-old GM candidate who admits to have a winning record over Garma in the last few years again essayed the classical lines of the Alekhine to earn his eighth point and move closer to the title and the P150,000 cash prize that goes with it.


Paragua‘s next opponent is no less than Grandmaster Bong Villamayor.
