LAKOBONG, LACAMBRA, JR.
MACAPAGAL --
SPONSORS OF 2005 OPEN
BEFORE the awarding ceremony of the 2005 Regular Chess
Tournament even begins, the next chess tournament – the 2005 Open Chess Tilt,
have already got trophies and brilliancy game prize sponsors. Palau businessman
Bendix N. Lakobong, his Operations Manager Leo Lacambra, Jr. and Production
Manager Roswell C. Macapagal have agreed to host/sponsor the next chess tourney
after talking to Knights and Rooks Chess Club (Palau) Chairman Roberto
Hernandez. It will start on May 22 and will conclude on September 25 at Galaxy
Video Center premises.
During
their conversation, they agreed to use the name T-Shirt Printing Atbp as the
company with all of their names to be mentioned in all succeeding issues of
Chess Mate by Roberto Hernandez in Tia Belau Newspaper. Lacambra also designed
the T-Shirt/Polo Shirt printing for players to order if they wished to have 2
shirts (white and dark green) wearing those while playing or as souvenir for
participating in that event. They also agreed to have a brilliancy prize of
$50.00 and will issue certificates of participation to players who paid their
registration fee.
In
the 2005 Regular Chess Tournament (January 16-April 17), no certificates were
issued to Eric Espartero and Joel Azana for failing to pay their $10.00
registration fee within that 3-month period. Those others who didn’t make it in
the awarding ceremony will get theirs on the opening day of the event. They are
Manuel Nedic, Em-R de Vera, Chris Domingo, Lin de Guzman, Mario Ramos, Marcial
Rodriguez, Dennis Gonzales, Tutii Joe Chilton, Liam Bornovski and Ronald
Maomay.
The
players who confirmed their participation are Menandro Manuel (2061 Approximate
National Rating), Roberto Hernandez (2056), Cyril Montel, Jr. (2044), Jose
Omega (2027), Bong Alipoon (2012), Ivan II Chess Computer (2006), Jimmy
Valenzuela (1994), Mario Ramos (1890), Dennis Gonzales (1825), Gene Pastrana
(1822), Joel Azana (1789), Morton Sawaichi (1780), Manuel Nedic (1759), Tutii
Joe Chilton (1693), Eric Espartero (1579), Marcial Rodriguez (1571) and James
dela Cruz (1500).
It
will be a single round-robin so 15 games will have to be played by each player.
The time control is 90 minutes for each player to finish the game.
Adjournment is allowed if a
player has to go back for work. The position must be recorded with the time
remaining for each player and the player to move will seal his move and will
give it to the Chief Arbiter (Hernandez). At the resumption of the agreed date,
it will be open and play will resume.
Players can play as much as 2
games every Sunday and special games in different places can be arranged. For
those late participants, the time control can be reduced to the agreed time
control of both players.
Registration fee is $10.00. No
certificates will be issued to those players who didn’t pay their registration
fee like in the 2005 Regular Chess Tournament. Writing chess notations is
mandatory either in English or Algebraic notations.
