First
game appearance of Joey Jaime Balute, left, against Felix Oling. Their
game lasted only 11 moves. In the background is the game between CM
Bernardo Garcia, 2nd from left, and NM Tito Cabunagan, who always mixed
his notation with English and Algebraic. Bernard has written 60 moves,
Tito only wrote 58 moves. Out of 58 notations of Tito, 30 are wrong as
he wrote those in mixture of English and Algebraic. Tito, Menandro
Manuel and Jose Celiz are the 3 players (all National Masters), who
wrote their notations in mixture. Manuel has improved a lot and don't
mix it anymore.

The
first loss of Roberto was dealt to him by Jeffrey Balbalosa in the 5th
round. Jeff hang on to his stingy defense and Roberto got impatient and
give away a bishop and a rook for 2 pawns and insufficient attack.
