(935) 2 SPECIAL GAMES ON ALL SAINT'S DAY (Sat.) TBN-Nov. 06-13, 2003

      2 SPECIAL GAMES ON ALL SAINTS SAINTS DAY
            (2003 Senior and Junior Chess Tournament)



CO-TOP SEED Menandro 'Boy' Manuel (1740 National Rating) is off every Saturday. To catch up with his games, he visited the venue of the ongoing 2003 Senior and Junior Chess Tournament, which is occupied by Nilo de Jesus and operated as C & N Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Services.

Although Manuel had agreed with Roberto days earlier that they will play on All Saints Day, he played first with Nilo because they haven't played each other yet.

Manuel prevailed over De Jesus and the stage is set for the 'championship' (almost) of the two of the 3 top seeds.
