FIDE Master Sander Severino, Atty. Cheyzer Crystal Mendoza and Menandro Redor showed the way after the fifth round of the standard event in the individual contests of the men’s and women’s PI (Physically Impaired) and B1-B2 (Blind) categories, respectively, with two rounds remaining.
HANGZHOU – Filipino para chessers paced three divisions in both individual and team standings Wednesday, inching closer in delivering the country another potential golden windfall in the 4th Hangzhou Asian Para Games chess tournament at the Hangzhou Qi-Yuan Chess Hall here.
Mendoza, who passed the bar last year but took time off to focus on her chess career, lost to Indonesia’s Nasip Farta Simanja but maintained her top spot with 3.5 points while teammate beat Cheryl Angot evened matters up in defeating Indon Rachel Aby Sharon to boost her score to three points. Infiesto said that Ridor and Subaste, who had 6.5 points, were a full point ahead of field in the men’s B1-B2 division.
“While I don’t want to pressure you given what you accomplished in the 2018 Asian Para Games, my prayer is that you continue do your best and display the same mental fortitude five years ago in Indonesia,” said Barredo.
