The first round of 2004 Palau Rapid Chess Tournament was held at Osiaol, beside Sacred Heart Church. There is no flat surface for the tables and there are grass on the ground which make it a unique set-up for a rapid chess tourney. At far left is Palauan bet Morton Sawaichi practicing with Ivan II Chess Computer. He defeated Menandro Manuel, who is playing with Joel Azana while Jose Omega and newcomer Gene Pastrana fight it out at the other end of the long table that was donated by Nilo de Jesus. Eventual champion Eddie Grefiel is playing against Jess Toldoya at far left.
