Nedic prevailed in 35 moves of Caro-Kahn Defence in the only game of the day.
The other games are blitz chess competiton between Nedic, Cyril Montel, Jr., Roberto Hernandez, venue host Gene Pastrana and Koror State Legal Counsel Craig Dittrich.
Eventually, Nedic also won the competition when he swept Hernandez in their 2nd round match that made the remaining games no bearing.
Jess Toldoya, the Vice President of The Filipino Community in Palau (TFCP) informed the players and organizers that TFCP is planning to sponsor the next tournament.
It will be a Swiss system format so that the tourney will be finished on time before the 2nd Ambassador Marino Cup, which will be going to be international as more foreign players will be invited.
Toldoya is also asking the chess community around the world to pray for the quick recovery of Florencio Campomanes, who had a car accident while in Turkey.
Campomanes, the former President of International Chess Federation (FIDE) for 14 years, visited Palau last May 11-14, 2006 and donated $600.00, 20 chessboards and 5 chess clocks to Palau Chess Federation and Knights and Rooks Chess Club.
Indonesian ILHAM MINTARAGA, a new staff of Tia Belau, will join the ongoing chess tournament this Sunday and will try his mettle against Palau's best chess players.
His initial rating will start at 1500 and will improve depending on his performance.
The ongoing tournament may be reduced to single round-robin instead of double round-robin to give more time for TFCP to organize an exciting chess tilt with big prizes like round-trip ticket from Palau to Manila, cash prizes and trophies.
Interested players can still catch up with the current tournament if they will play at least 2 games per week.
Please call Roberto Hernandez at 488-3694 or Gene Pastrana at 488-4640 for more information.
