IVAN II, HERNANDEZ LEAD CLASS A
TOP SEED Roberto Hernandez defeated Bong Alipoon in 52 moves of Sicilian Defence to tie Jimmy Valenzuela and Ivan II Chess Computer for the lead in the second round of the 2003 Age Group Chess Tournament sponsored by The Filipino Community in Palau (TFCP), Cris Gonzales and Genaro Manlaya.
Ivan II executed all the right defence moves to repel Edgardo Enarsao's attack. It accepted Enarsao's knight sacrifice on the 25th move and held ground to notch its second win with the black pieces by using the King's Gambit Accepted.
Second seed Cyril Montel, Jr. bounced back from first round upset and mated Jun Mahor in 37 moves of a Caro-Kann Defence. He sacrificed a rook on the 34th move to weave a mating net that Mahor failed to anticipate.
In Class B, Ben Ramos is now in 2nd place with 1.5 points after winning over Amante Caballero in a special match played in the former's residence because the latter doesn't have a Sunday off now. The tournament allows special arrangement such as this as long as both players have mutual concurrence.
Other Class B games results: Mike Miguel, Jr. d. Jon Lagumen; Eugene Koh d. Kelvin dela Paz (default); and Norbert Villanueva drew with Tutii Joe Chilton (default draw).
In the 12 years and under category, undefeated Jayrome Soriano defeated Ivan II Chess Computer to amass 4.5 points while Chris Domingo won by default over Michael Jordan (MJ) Ngiratechekii who showed up late in the afternoon.

VALENZUELA, KOH LEAD CLASS A, B
EIGHTH SEED Jimmy Valenzuela and top seed Roberto Hernandez share the lead again after victories over separate opponents in the 3rd round of 2003 Age Group Chess Tournament held on Sunday, July 13, 2003 at the parking lot of TFCP office.
Valenzuela won his third straight upset win over 2nd seed Cyril Montel, Jr. in 58 moves of a Sicilian Defence, showing that he has regained his form that won him the first runner-up trophy in the 2002 All-Filipino Chess Tourney.
Hernandez took advantage of Mario Ramos' blunder on the 41st move and mated him on the next move of another Sicilian Defence. Ramos drew with Jun Mahor earlier where both have a king and a rook left on the board.
Menandro Manuel, the 2003 Open champion, defaulted 2 games to Edgardo Enarsao and Mariano Agustin, Jr., after failing to inform the tournament chairman (Hernandez) that he would not be able to play. He is still scoreless after losing his first game against Ivan II Chess Computer.
In Class B, Eugene Koh beat Ivan II computer and continue to lead the group with 3 points. Mike Miguel, Jr. is in second spot after winning by default over Genaro Manlaya. Jon Lagumen defeated Ben Ramos with a series of simplification moves.
Other results of Class B matches: Amante Caballero vs. Tutii Joe Chilton (default draw); Norvert Villanueva vs. Kelvin dela Paz (default draw).
