(1251) PAX CUP IN FULL SWING AT PRR (TBN-Nov. 09-15, 2009)

            PAX CUP IN FULL SWING AT
               PALAU ROYAL RESORT

The Paquito Suringa Cup Invitational Rapid Chess Tournament is in full swing at Palau Royal Resort Dormitory 1 with the formation of Class A and Class B in the double round-robin event.

There are 3 invited players in the Class A Division – Joel Flor, Arnel Ogalesco and Andres ‘Aying’ Mestizo II to make that division complete with 9 players. Likewise, the Class B will have 9 players and Melanie Santos will be tasked to get some donations from Accounting, Front Desk and other departments to add it for the cash prize of both Class A and B.

                A possible women’s division is being considered for this event that has commenced in Oct. 24, 2009 with different schedule that will fit the varying schedules of participants.

                The Class A is composed of top seed Roberto Hernandez, the innovator of the event Paquito ‘Pax’ Suringa, Jr., Robert Tubice, Nino Flores, Jaime Guevarra, Jomar Alerta and the invited players Arnel Ogalesco, Andres Mestizo II and Joel Flor.

                The weaker Class B participants are Ferdie Altea, Randy Sioson, Ronel Gutierrez, George Gabris, Jerome Ratunil, Rey Alenain, Miguel Gancayco, Joel Gabris and Elizalde Madrinan.

                Ms. Santos will chair the possible women’s division that will consist of May Olis, Maricar Baules, Gracie Alenain, Tonet Medilo, Shirin Dy, Marizon Sarabia, an Indonesian from Mandara Spa and the lone invited player Kristen Senajon.

                Hernandez’ dad died at the age of 92. He didn’t go home for the funeral. Instead, he took the 4 Sundays of November to be able to play his remaining 14 games in the Pax Cup. He has played only 2 games so far and it’s time to catch up…

                He played 10 games within the week of Nov. 4-11 and won 8 games, lost 1 and drew 1.

                There is a blitz chess contest held on Nov. 04, 2009 at Jean’s Boutique and Store and Menandro ‘Boy’ Manuel clinched another blitz title by toppling the opposition.

(1243) ANOTHER BANGLADESH NATIONAL TO JOIN 2009-2010 PNCC (TBN-Oct. 19-25, 2009)

AKRAM HOSSAIN -- ANOTHER CHESS NEOPHYTE
   He works as a security personnel to many places in Palau. He is trying his focus on chess this time. 2003 champion Edgardo Enarsao honed his chess skills while on duty at nighttime as security guard.

   ANOTHER BANGLADESH NATIONAL
   TO JOIN 2009-2010 PNCC

Currently, there are 3 Bangladesh nationals competing in the 2009-2010 Palau National Chess Championship being held every Sunday at D. J. Cruz General Merchandise premises.

They are Mohammad Manik Hossain, Masum Billah and Hassan Mamud. It might increase with the addition of Akram Hossain (no relation to Manik) in the resumption of play on Oct. 11 at the venue being hosted by its owner-manager Eugenio Pastrana.

Akram will replace Tutii Joe Chilton and will play his compatriot Manik on Sunday, Oct. 18 at the same venue. His 2^nd game is scheduled against anybody who played the least games. Probably Geaury Ken Pastrana, the youngest son of Eugenio.

Chess is booming at Palau Royal Resort as the Paquito ‘Pax’ Suringa Cup Rapid Chess Tournament is inciting less-experienced chess players to join. There will be 2 Divisions –Class A that will be composed of 8 players that will include invited ones outside of PRR.

The Class B will have at least 10 players and with the possibility of having a women’s division, it will be interesting to know or discover chess talents at PRR alone.

The Pax Cup will start on Oct. 24 at Dormitory 1 of PRR. The time control is 30 minutes for each player to finish the game without increment. The registration fee is $5.00 and the collected fee will become the cash prize for the top 3 finishers in each division.

It is exclusive only to employees of PRR but in the Class A division, the invited players will pooled in that division. The prospective invited players are Masum Billah, Andres ‘Aying’ Mestizo II, Koror State Legal Counsel American Craig Dittrich and Joel Flor.

The Collection of Registration Fees and Donations from staff of Palau Royal Resort that were collected by Lanie Santos were as follows:
