(1160) 38 PHOTOS -- PALAU LIGHTNING CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP (Jan. 18, 2016)

The first round features Roberto, right, against Arnolfo Inres, who lost his queen early in the game via blunder. Top seed Cyril Tomas Montel, Jr., left, had an overwhelming advantage over Manuel Mahor, Jr. when their clock went 00. Cyril don't like to accept the draw by technicality. Since it's only a 2-minute game, he agreed to play another game and prevail anyway.    (Photo by Roberto Hernandez)





























After a loss by time forfeit against Eugene Labarda, Hernandez, left, bounced back to whip Manuel Mahor, Jr. only to lose again in the 4th round.
