National Master Julius Sinangote of Tacloban City had every reason to keep his head high at the start of the year.
Showing a big heart and enthusiasm, the former mainstay of Rizal Technological University Mandaluyong City Chess Team bagged the Championship crown of the 22nd Espana Chess Club since joining the online chess event.
Fondly called Jules in the chess world, Sinangote_NM on Lichess, finished with 52 points in 19 games for a win rate of 84 percent and performance rating of 2448 to win the event that drew 83 players last January 1, 2020 at lichess.org.
"This was the first Championship crown of NM Julius Sinangote since joining Espana Chess Club Tournaments. But his contribution to the team in International Competition cannot be ignored. NM Julius Sinangote led the Espana team into Championship versus Turkey Chess Team and other European Teams last August 16, 2020, in the 4YL Online Satranc Ligi Team Battle.
