    KLINE, MARLOU, PAX/MARVIN --
                 PRR DART CHAMPS;
                  2016 RAPID CHESS 
                  STARTS MARCH 20
 
BRIAN KLINE Labrador clinched the Class A title of the inaugural Palau Royal Resort Dart Tourney by besting Class A finalist Ryan Camero 2-0 in their best-of-3 finals (Killer Game) while Marlou defeated Marvin Junio in their Class B final encounter with the same score.

                In the Doubles Category, the tandem of Paquito ‘Pax’ Suringa, Jr. and Marvin outlasted the duo of Kline and Kleventh John Equares to win the Kayak Tour package for 2 donated by Fish ‘N Fins worth $250.00 while the losing duo won the complimentary dinner for 2 at Waves Restaurant of PRR.
                The Class A and Class B winners won equally the grocery items like noodles, detergent, toothpaste/toothbrush, fabric softener, meat loaf, cup noodles, canned tuna, sandwich spread, seasoning, peanuts, Glade, corned beef, soap and sausage.
                In the extra mini tourney like who hits the bull’s eye, triple or double more, Marlou and Christopher de Lima won a t-shirt each while Pax won a board shorts.
                The organizers of this event—Felix Oling, Jr., Pax, Kline and especially Bobby Maltizo, would like to remind the players/participants that aiming for the prizes is not the spirit of the game but the camaraderie that was experienced during the exciting and fun extra curriculum activities that the PRR management has given.
                They should be grateful for it and take advantage of the opportunity to know more about their co-workers. The organizers have done a very good job of the dart tourney in which every player with different schedule has to adjust for the event to finish it on time.
                When the first ever chess tournament in Palau has started in June 09, 2002, it has the same problem with participants’ varying schedules but they were able to squeeze their free time to excel and to improve the quality of chess games in Palau.
                After almost 14 years, Palau has 335 members now (including Honorary) and has been a member of FIDE (World Chess Federation) in 2005, and has participated in 2009 Oceania Zonal Chess Championship in Australia, 2010 World Chess Olympiad in Russia, 2012 World Chess Olympiad in Istanbul, Turkey,  2013 Guam Invitational Chess Tournament, 2013 World Youth Chess Championship in Abu Dhabi, 2014 World Chess Olympiad in Tromso, Norway, 2015 World Youth Chess Olympiad in Mongolia, 2015 Guam International Chess Tournament, 2015 DATMO Malaysian Open and this year’s World Chess Olympiad in Baku, Azerbaijan (Sept. 1-14, 2016).
                GOOD LUCK IN THE PIONEERING OF DART IN PALAU!!!
                The 2016 Palau Rapid Chess Championship will start on March 20 at Bethlehem Park. The 5-week, 9-round Swiss system event will have a time format of 25 minutes for each player to finish the game with 10 seconds increment. Every participant must play 2 games every Sunday and one game on the final day to be followed by awarding of medals to the top 3 finishers in both Open and Women’s/Junior category.
                First to confirm his participation is Roberto Hernandez and Felix Oling, Jr., who would like to have a farewell tournament before going back for good to Philippines on May 13, 2016.
                The Women and junior category will be integrated. If there are only 10 contestants, it will be a single round-robin.
