Bannered by the solid play of Menandro Redor, the national para chess team finished with three gold medals, two silver medals and two bronze medals in the standard event in the 4th Hangzhou Asian Para Games on Thursday. In his second Asian Para Games, Redor held Turkmen top-seed Atabayev Aygdogdy to a draw in the seventh and final round, spearheading the men’s squad to a sweep of the B2-B3 standard event.
Atty. Cheyzer Crystal Mendoza added the third gold in chess despite losing to Mongolia’s Khisigbayar Migjee in the last round of the women’s individual standard PI event with a final 5.5 points. Their accomplishments made up for the nationals' defeat in the men’s PI event where they were dethroned in both the team and individual events by Indonesia following the setback of FIDE Master Sander Severino to veteran No. 1 Tirto in the final round.
