Salcedo, Nanola Bag Shell Chess Crowns
October 25, 2010, 5:31pm
MANILA, Philippines — Richelieu Salcedo III and Christian Nanola pulled off crucial victories to crown themselves the new juniors and kiddies champions, respectively, in the Shell National Youth Active Chess Championship grand finals Sunday at SM Megamall Event Center in Mandaluyong City.
The fifth-ranked Salcedo, winner of the Naga City leg, stunned fourth seed McDominique Lagula in the sixth round then held No. 2 Sheider Nebato to a draw in the next before beating erstwhile leader Jerwell Andoy and Antonio Chavez Jr. to finish with seven points in the 20-and-under division.
Andoy bounced back from that loss to Salcedo as he beat Diego Perez in the final round to likewise end up with seven points. But the Rizal Technological Univ. bet took the crown worth 30,000 with a higher tiebreak score.
Nebato failed to force a three-way tie on top as he dropped his final round game to Joseph Turqueza and settled for third place after edging Alfred Rapanot and Turqueza in the tiebreak.
The 11th-ranked Nanola, on the other hand, upset No. 7 Felix Balbona in the sixth round, drew with second seed John Batucan in the next, shocked third seed Paul Evangelista in the eighth before forcing the top seeded Jerad Docena to a draw to emerge the solo winner with seven points in the kiddies division.
