(915) DAVID, RIVERA, R. CAYANAN AND DIESTA LEAD CLASS B (TBN-March 14-20, 2008)

JESS David still has the best record in Class B of the Palau Royal Resort Rapid Chess Tournament after scoring two more victories but Cafeteria Chief Cook Arnold Rivera and another cook Romy Cayanan are not far behind in the standings.

With the surging Francis Diesta almost finishing all of his games with disappointing results, he still has a chance to land in the top 3 depending on the performance of the frontrunners.

Diesta had a 10-7-1 win-loss-draw slate after sweeping Morris Apresto and splitting games with Armand Lelis and top seed Randy Sioson, David, Mark Apresto and Rivera. He was swept in return by Cayanan and has drawn with invited player Chat Miraflor, who played only 2 games and the only player who had not won a game yet as Delfin 'Scanamus' Mallare scored at least a point in 14 games.

Diesta drew with Edgar Cayanan in their first game and defeated him in the second round.


David nipped Edgar Cayanan when the latter captured a piece with his queen instead of a knight to be a full piece ahead while his nephew Romy lost to Rivera and won over Morris.

With Mark Apresto going home for good last Friday, his remaining 4 games were all declared draws against Romy and Rivera and finished with 13 points. 

It will be almost enough to land in the top 3 if Morris and Randy will play poorly in their last games and that will decide the final outcome.

The Class B active players were promoted to Class A due to hesitance of more than half of them to play in their Division.

When Laurence Abuton agreed to cancel the Class B, Elizalde Madrinan, Paquito Suringa, Jr., Darwin Nisperos and Abuton were added to Class A.

With the withdrawal of Nino Flores, Nisperos took his spot and Eli took the spot of Craig Dittrich, the other invited player. The Class C now will become Class B. 

In Class A action, top seed Roberto Hernandez dealt Dennis Lara his first loss to avenge his first defeat and clobbered 2nd seed Jaime Guevarra in 2 games of Sicilian and Pirc Defence.

A day later, Hernandez dealt also the first loss of Madrinan in another Sicilian encounter.

Suringa, Jr. drubbed Robert Tubice in both games with the same result as in the Lara vs. Arnel Pama (his first 2 games).

Guevarra tested the strength of Eli's game and the latter's inexperience with time management cost him to lose both games by time forfeit with an overwhelming advantage.
