GREFIEL PLAYS CHESS MASTER IN 5 ROUNDS

EDDIE Grefiel, working for DAEWOO, played like famous chess masters Kasparov, Karpov or Eugene Torre, topping 19 other chess enthusiasts on the ongoing All-Filipino Chess tournament at Mindzenty High School Auditorium.

Chess Committe Chairman Mr. Roberto Hernandez with his committe members oversee the mind-battling tournament every Sunday.

"Maganda itong laro na ito, kahit na we don't go base on the book, at least nahahasa itong mga kababayan nating marunong mag-chess," said Chairman Hernandez. (This is a good game, even though we don't go based on the book, at least our countrymen who know how to play chess can hone their skills.)
