Other results of the 6th round: Paquito ‘Pax’ Suringa,
Jr. is leading his game against Dennis Gonzales but offered a draw because his
team Melusch is about to play its basketball game against WCTC so he offered a
draw which was accepted as there is not breakthrough in the bishop of the same
color endgame in 36 moves of Modern Defence (Avervakh Variation).

Arnolfo Inres clobbered John Mark Tamayo in a display of heavy
artillery attack that Tamayo couldn’t thwart and resigned in just 21 moves of Trompowsky
Attack; John Malinao touted Josef Karlo Moyet in 33 moves of King’s Pawn

Mahor and top seed NM, FIDE Instructor (FI) Roberto Hernandez agreed to play
their scheduled game for Nov. 29 to November 21 (Sat.) at Bethlehem Park at
10am after Roberto has finished teaching a boy guitar lessons.
Their game started with Roberto having the white pieces. A group
of Palauan youngsters watch the beginning of the game and Roberto asked Eugene
Labarda to take a photo with them so that they can be featured on Monday’s
edition of Chess Mate.
Their game lasted till 2:30pm with Roberto unable to have lunch at
Palau Royal Resort because the Cafeteria closes at 1:30 pm. He just had a
peanut butter sandwich and a bunch of bananas and papayas given to him by
Adrian, the father of his guitar student. Their fighting drawn game lasted 104
moves! Mahor offered a draw on the 72 moves but Hernandez opted to play a
little move with the same result.
