MAYA BOWLING-MY CURRENT PIANO STUDENT; CHESS LESSONS IS NEXT
Maya’s dad Tom told me that he played a lot of chess before. He is from the place where I represented Palau in the 2009 Oceania Zonal Chess Championship (Brisbane and Gold Coast, Australia). He and his wife Tatiana are very happy that Leif ‘Baba’ Toribiong’s been a member of Palau Chess Team in the 2018 WCO in Batumi, Georgia. Tom and Maya were amazed when I told them that there is a totally blind chess player in 2009 Gold Coast Open that won 3rd place in his division. (Photo by Roberto Hernandez)
SINGLE ROUND-ROBIN FOR WOMEN;
DOUBLE ROUND-ROBIN FOR JUNIOR
A few days before the 6th round of 2018 PNCC, Bobot Tan and Gonzalo Escapatoria played their game and Bobot prevailed. The same with Tito Cabunagan and Angelito Mintar, Jr. because Tito is having a vacation. In the actual day, Cyril Tomas Almitante-Montel nipped Paquito Suringa Jr. while Samuel Palingcod outsmarted Glen Navarroza
I defeated Neph Macasaet with Jello Aguaras clobbering Charley Patris; Manik Hossain scored another win by touting Remrel Dizon. And finally, Reece Reklai dealt Morton Sawaichi his 6th straight losses. The women's section is now a double round-robin (12 rounds). Aome Jacob Angeles played 3 games winning 1 and losing 2. Jennifer Tubtub also played and the 3rd Batch of PMA Chess in Schools started on Dec, 4 with their blitz tournament among 14 participants.
ROUND 7 PAIRINGS: (First name to play white) 1. Glen vs. Bobot 2. Cyril vs. Jeff 3. Jojo vs. Pax 4. Angel vs. Jun Mahor (1-0) 5. Tito vs. Sam 6. Angelito vs. Dennis 7. Me vs. Charley 8. Jello vs. Manik 9. Morton vs. Neph and 10. Remrel vs. Reece.
I just check my old notes and found out this from Jamie Kenmure, Palau Ratings Officer:
RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR ALL TOURNAMENTS IN PALAU
I am writing this document so all players can help organizers in the running of smooth events for all Palau tournaments starting in 2017 and beyond. Below is a list of things that needs to be done by organizers and players: Players must confirm if they are playing in an event 48 hours (2 days) prior to the event starting as this will help in setting up the tournament files.
If you are a new player, please provide your name as in passport (First and last name only) along with your Date of Birth so the Rating’s Officer (Jamie Kenmure) can issue you with a FIDE ID immediately.
If there is any game in a tournament that is not played it will be treated as a +- or -+ depending on who could not make the game. When there are only 6 players for a tournament, the tournament will be played only as a Single Round Robin. All events must be registered 21 days prior to the event (this only applies to organizers).
The time control for all classical tournaments except the Open section of the National tournament shall be 60 minutes + 30 seconds. In the case where all players are under 1600 rating, the tournament will have a time control of 30 minutes + 30 seconds.
Rapid time controls shall be 15 minutes + 5 seconds. Blitz time controls shall be 3 minutes + 2 seconds.
Both for Rapid and Blitz if it is a round robin, it shall be Single Round Robin unless there is only 6 players and then it may be played as a Double Round only by the request of all players and organizer. This can only be for 6 players in a tournament and only for Rapid and Blitz tournaments.
These are rules that should be adopted as this will clearly set out everything and players and organisers will know exactly what is what. If a classical tournament has 4 players only, then a double round robin (DRR) can be used but only for 4 players. Yours truly, Jamie Kenmure, PCF Ratings Officer.
With this useful information, the Women’s Division will be a single-round robin among 7 players as Gladys Anne Paloma, Tau’o Ngirmeriil and Benerica Daligdig didn’t show up to pay their dues.
This is now the standings after all completed games were compiled: 1. Angelica Parrado (4 wins, 0 draw, 0 loss) 2. Angelil Sisior (3-0-1) 3. Angelica Magno (3-0-3 Final Standings) 4. Destiny Sisior (2-1-1) 5. Joan Gemota (0-2-2) 6. Jennifer Angeles (0-1-2) 7. Baby Edna “Bheng” Mission (0-0-2).
REMAINING GAMES OF WOMEN DIVISION (Round Robin): 1. Bheng vs. Destiny 2. Angie vs. Joan 3. Jennifer vs. Bheng 4. Angelil vs. Jennifer 5. Angie vs. Destiny 6. Bheng vs. Angelil 7. Bheng vs. Joan.
REMAINING GAMES OF JUNIOR DIVISION (Double Round Robin): 1. Gian vs. Rommel 2. Rommel vs. Gian 3. Gian vs. Aome 4. Aome vs. Gian 5. Kyarii vs. Aome 6. Aome vs. Kyarii
