PHOTOS AND RESULTS --
6th ROUND
2018 Palau National Chess
Championship
December 02, 2018
The longest game of the day was between Dennis Gonzales, 2nd from left, and Angelo Salvadora, right, that lasted till 6:30 pm. Bobot Tan and another chess player used the flashlight of their cell phones so that the protagonists can cope with darkness. Eventually, Dennis offered a draw with him having a king and 2 pawns against Angelo's king, a knight and a pawn. DRAW ACCEPTED!
Top seed Cyril Tomas Montel, Jr., right, snapped the 4-game winning streak of Paquito Suringa, Jr., left, while it is another draw between Manuel Mahor, Jr., 2nd, from left, and Jeff Balbalosa in an endgame of bishop of opposite color.
The Sisior sisters, Angelil, left, and Destiny, played their game with the former, a member of 14-member delegation of Palau to 2018 Batumi, Georgia World Chess Olympiad, prevailing over her younger sister Destiny, a member of Palau Team in the 2014 World Chess Olympiad in Tromso, Norway. The two are almost sure members of Palau Women's Team to 2020 WCO in Russia.
Rustum Cabuso, standing in the middle, came back from vacation and participation in 2018 WCO in Batumi, Georgia after getting married in Nov. 28. He missed the 2018 PNCC Open Division where the champion gets an automatic inclusion to the 2020 WCO in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia.
