GM VILLAMAYOR SIMUL

Chess Invitation

Everybody is invited to play in the GM Bong Villamayor Simul at MERALCO Chess Club (Canteen, Lopez Bldg, MERALCO Center, Ortigas Ave, Pasig City) on January 23. Registration starts at 9am with a fee of P300 for adults and P100 for kids. But PARA players and kids from public school plays for free.

GM Bong has agreed to play in this 5th edition of MERALCO Chess Club's fund-raising simuls. This will give opportunity to the RP Paralympics Chess Team (Alexis Elinon, Rudy Canonigo, Rudy Ssarmiento, Francis Ching, Abe Peligro, Melchor and Gigi Bilog) and a few kids from public schools such as Carlo Caranyagan, Gil Ruaya, Renato Cruz, Jenny Espada, Saltorio siblings, and Ramon Magsaysay HS to play with a grandmaster.

Previous winners are:
Alexis of PARA has won in the GM Torre simul and earned draws in the GM Gonzales and GM Paragua simuls.

Paulo Bersamina of Zamora Elementary School and MERALCO Chess Club has a draw with GM Torre.

Gil Ruaya of Taytay National HS earned a draw with GM Paragua.

Joanah Saltorio of NU earned a draw in the GM Gonzales simul.

Earl Cabugao and Rhal Sol Cruz of La Salle and MERALCO Chess Club earned draws with GM Antonio.

Proceeds will be used for the food of the beneficiaries and to fund chess workshops for kids from public school.

Let us continue to share our time, talent and money (like in the Parable of the Talents and parable of the Last Judgment) to our less fortunate brothers and sisters in the chess community.

God bless.
