PALAU ROYAL Resort's pastry chef Jaime Guevarra scored an upset over 3rd seed Cyril Montel, Jr. in the resumption of 2008 Palau National Chess Championship held on Sunday, May 24 at Jean's Boutique and Store.
Cyril overlooked a neat bishop sacrifice of Jaime on the 33rd move that put him in a passive position instead of having the initiative. After the promotion of the b pawn, Cyril resigned in frustration.

White: Jaime Guevarra (71)
Black: Cyril Montel, Jr. (1870)

In a special game held at Palau Royal Resort Dormitory 1, 4th seed Roberto Hernandez dealt 2nd seed Jose Omega his 2nd loss in 54 moves of Reti Opening.
On the 26th move, Omega unleashed a pawn thrust that opens the strong diagonal for his bishop. Hernandez offered a bishop sacrifice that Omega had refused.
The ensuing plays result in an overwhelming advantage for Hernandez. Jose tried in vain to force at least a stalemate but Hernandez didn't fall to the trick.
