4 NEWCOMERS IN THE 2019 PRCC
Except for Nobu Yano, the other 3 newcomers of the 2019 PRCC are in this photo. Carlos Santus Amo Sifix, left, lost to Manuel ‘Jun’ Mahor, Jr., right, in the 1st round. Carlos is from Solomon Islands. I met all the reps of Solomon Islands in the 2018 World Chess Olympiad in Batumi, Georgia. Carlos is a soccer teammate of my piano/chess student. At far right is Khol Sugiyama, who lost to Jennifer in the 1st round but won over Dave Cristobal in the 2nd round. Bruce Soriano, 4th from right, is the father of my guitar/chess student Brandon Kyle Soriano, 2nd from left.

ROUND 3 OF 2019 P. R. C. C.;
30 PLAYERS WILL SLUG IT OUT
The first 2 rounds of 2019 PRCC had only 26 players. I referred to Palau Rating Officer Jamie Kenmure on how to accommodate the other 5 late comers—Mohammad Manik Hossain, who just came back from participating in the prestigious Tokyo Marathon on March 6, 3rd seed Paquito Suringa, Jr., Jedidia Marinas, newcomer Nobu Yano and Reece Reklai, who won $150.00 in Guam Oceania Zonal Chess Championship for topping the 1600 and under category.
Jamie asked me to send to him the Swiss Perfect files --.trn .sco and .ini and he came out with this 3rd round pairings after Reece confirmed he can’t make it—(First name to play the white pieces) 1. Jeff vs. Angelo 2. Bobot vs. Sam 3. Angie vs. Angelil 4. Aome vs. me 5. Rustum vs. Angel Magno 6. Mary Grace Capili vs. Jun Mintar 7. Michael Gulla vs. Jun Mahor 8. Kyle Soriano vs. Destiny 9. Jennifer vs. Bruce Soriano 10. Khol Suigiyama vs. Kyarii Sisior 11. Rommel Gulla vs. Pax 12. Carlos Santus Amo Sifix vs. Manik 13. Wakako Sisior vs. Joan Gemota 14. Mary Jane Bojo vs. Jedidia and 15. Dave Cristobal vs. Nobu Yano.
Jennifer is now the Chief Arbiter and she has to play to complete the 30-player requirement to gain an FA norm. Jamie asked me to ask Carlos Santus Amo Sifix if he would like to be registered under Solomon Islands where he came from. Jamie is also the Rating Officer of Solomon Islands, Guam and Palau. After teaching piano/chess to him, I mentioned to him that we have a new chess player from Solomon Islands, which happens that Carlos is a teammate of him in their soccer team.
The 2 games (Rd. 3 and 4) will start at 2pm. Rustum suggested a week prior to the event, that we should start at 1 pm so he can still go to work later in the afternoon. I brought all the tables, chairs and chess equipment at Bethlehem Park at 12:30 with Sam and Jun Mintar the only players there that early. Rustum came at past 2 pm.

The History of Chess in Palau
By Roberto Hernandez
June 09, 2002 -- March 11, 2019
Because I am the Chief Arbiter of 2019 Palau Blitz Chess Championship, I don't have time to get photos taken with me and the 36 participants.
There are 311 photos of that event, but not even a single photo, I don't have any. That's how busy I am with that 2019 PBCC that resulted in me having gained the needed norms to be a FIDE Arbiter (FA).
This last photo of the opening day of 2019 Palau Rapid Chess Championship on March 03, is just a selfie with Bruce Soriano, whom I have pursued to join to make it a 26-player event. Not enough yet for Jennifer Angeles to get an FA norm. We need 30 players. But with the addition of late comers like Mohammad Manik Hossain, who just came back from participating in the prestigious Tokyo Marathon in March 3, 2019, Paquito Suringa, Jr., Jedidia Marinas and Nobu Yano, the target number will be met.
