Special
10th round game of top seed Cyril Tomas Montel, Jr., right, and Paquito
Suringa, Jr. on Friday, October 4 at 9pm. They used an hour each time

Pax his 8th loss.

Gene
Pastrana won 2 games in the final round of 2013 PNCC to finish a
respectable 4th place, 2 steps higher than his seeding. Those 2 games
are in Rapid time control and they didn't write their moves that favors
him. Rustum Cabuso and top seed Cyril Tomas Montel, Jr. have complained
about his unsportsmanlike and unprofessional attitude of not writing or
updating all his moves during the game and wants to copy his opponent's
score sheet after their game.

The
most crucial game of the junior division -- unbeaten Destiny Sisior,
left, and undefeated Ksau Anthony Whipps. Look at the face of Ksau --
KILLER INSTINCT!
Jose
Celiz, middle, watches the game of Eugenio Pastrana, left, and Nilo de
Jesus. He said he will be an observer in the final day as he clinched
the title when he defeated Rustum Cabuso on Friday night.
BUT... he played his unplayed game against Nilo in rapid time control and lost!

Tito
Cabunagan, 2nd from right, played his "drawn" game with Nilo de Jesus
and lost instead. Their game was listed as draw because Tito went to
Philippines for a week and came back just in time to finish his 3
'drawn' games in rapid time control. He won 1 but lost 2 and finished
with 3.5 instead of 4.0 points if it stays that
way.
