(The Philippine Star) Updated June 22, 2009 12:00 AM
MANILA, Philippines - Ateneo’s Jan Garcia racked up five wins in row in impressive fashions while Christian Nanola of Laguna upset eighth seed Dave Dulay in the fifth round to gain a share of the lead in their respective divisions in the Shell National Youth Active Chess Championships-NCR leg at SM Mall of Asia over the weekend.
The third seeded Garcia, a veteran internationalist, downed Riza Bonifacio, Irene Samonte, Jessica Visca, Lemuel Bermas and Ferdinand Reyes Jr. to force a three-way tie for first with No. 6 Richelieu Salcedo of PMI and FEU’s Lennon Salgados heading into the last two rounds of the Swiss system tournament.
Salcedo beat Jerome Flores, Marie Galang, Narquingcel Reyes, James Dacanay and Adam Rico while Salgados won over Jeffrey Macabitas, Ronald Barcelon, Ephraim Maliam, Gerald Ferriol and Jayson Mercado to stay in the hunt for top honors in the 20-and-under division of the two-category event sponsored by Pilipinas Shell under its Shell Active Chess program, which supports the empowerment of the youth as part of the company’s overall Sustainable Development commitment.
Top seed Kevin Mirano, also of FEU, was held to a draw in third round by Narquingden Reyes and stood in joint fourth with Antonio Chavez, Jr., Charlene Suede and Reyes while 20 others posted four points and remained in the race for the top three places and berths in the national finals.
The 30th-ranked Nanola’s stirring win over Dulay hiked the Laguna College of Business and Arts student’s total to five points for a share of the lead with second seed Jeremiah Alfonso, fourth ranked Vince Medina, No. 5 Paulo Bersamina, No. 9 Paul Evangelista and 10th seed Giovanni Mejia in the kiddies side of the event, the nation’s longest running, grassroots-based chess tournament working on a theme “Maglaro at Matuto, Kasama ang Chess Barkada!”

Barcenilla finished with 7 points after ten games of play in the tournament won by Uzbek GM Timur Gareev who garnered a total of 8 points.
Close friend GM Rogelio "Joey" Antonio Jr. was elated with Barcenilla’s feat as he welcomes his colleague among the Philippine’s GMs.

Prospero "Butch" Pichay Jr., the president of the National Chess Federation of the Philippines also congratulated Barcenilla.

MACE Cup Simul Board 1
1 Nf3 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3
The NM is going for the English Opening, a sort of Sicilian for White, with an extra move.
3... d5
In chess, as in war, it is important to know your strengths and weaknesses. Mahina tayo sa inglisan kaya I declined the English and aimed for the Q's Gambit instead.
4 e3 c6
I am setting-up for the Slav, a solid set-up for Black which is suited to my style of play.
5 d4 Nbd7
By simply applying the N's before B's principle, the opening has transposed to a Q's Gambit Declined - Semi-Slav Defense. This move was played in 5,665 out of 6,326 games.
6 Qc2
This is the STOLTZ VARIATION [ECO D45]. It is second in popularity [with 2,485 games] to the MERAN VARIATION, 6 Bd3 [with 2,963 games]. My encounters with this variation were against NM Nico Alisangco in the Aguilar Cup in February 2009 and NM Roland Perez in the 3rd Sol Cruz Memorial Cup in May 2009.
In the historic Ribli vs Torre Candidates Match 1983 in Alicante, the Hungarian continued with 6 Bd3 and won the game and the match as well. But our legendary Pinoy GM has 1 W and 1 D against the Meran of two World Champions; Petrosian vs Torre in Moscow 1981 (1/2-1/2) and Smyslov vs Torre in Bugojno 1984 (0-1).
6... Bd6
This is the vox populi, played in 2,204 out of 2,485 games.
7 Be2
The four most popular lines are 7 Bd3 with 585 games, 7 Be2 with 540, 7 b3 with 432, and 7 g4 with 406.
If I am to rely on the Semi-Slav, I must also be prepared for 7 g4, named the Shabalov Attack; Kasparov vs Nielsen in Reykjavic 2004, Morozevich vs Kramnik in Tal Memorial 2008, Kasimdzhanov vs Akopian in Elista Grand Prix 2008, Carlsen vs Anand in Linares 2009
7... O-O 8 O-O b6
Preparing for a Q-side fianchetto as played by World Champions; Shneider vs Kramnik in Alekhine Memorial 1992 and Ftacknik vs Khalifman in Padubice 1994, and Ivanchuk vs Anand in World Blitz 2007.The main line is the pawn capture 8... dxc4; Karpov vs Anand in Brussels 1991, Kamsky vs Anand in Tilburg 1991, Vyzmanavin vs Kramnik in Moscow 1992, Van Wely vs Kramnik in Monaco 1998, Ljubojevic vs Topalov in Monte Carlo 2000, Ljubojevic vs Kramnik in Monaco 2001, and Carlsen vs Anand in Monaco 2007.
The mysterious R move, 8... Re8, is also popular among World Champions; Hjartarson vs Tal in Reykjavic 1988, Huebner vs Kasparov in Koln Match 1992, Giorgadze vs Kramnik in Manila Olympiad 1992, Grivas vs Kramnik in Dortmund 1992, Tukmakov vs Topalov in Mesa 1992, Ioseliani vs Smyslov in Womens-Veterans 1994, Zvjaginsev vs Kramnik in Moscow Olympiad 1994, Karpov vs Kamsky in World Championship 1996, Huebner vs Kramnik in Frankfurt 1996 .
The liquidation of the center pawns to maximize the power of the fianchetto has also been tried by a pair of World Champions; Gurevich vs Khalifman in Biel IZT 1983 and Karpov vs Kasparov in Linares 1991.

Up to this position is the Shneider vs Kramnik and Ftacknik vs Khalifman games.

Shneider continued with 12 Bd3 while Ftacknik opted for 12 Rd1.

This is said to be the last "book move" and has been played in Onischuk vs Zvjaginsev in Hoogovens 1995 and Shneider vs Zvjaginsev in Yugoslavian championship 1995.
I do not actually know these games, as Clint Eastwood said in The Outlaw Josey Wales, "I was lucky in the order."

Guided by Bobby Ang's Chess Piece column in Business World titled CHINESE HORDE; "I am going to play 40 strong moves and if you also play 40 strong moves, then we have a draw.", and I did, the 3rd against a National Master!!!
