Tiu almost swept the seven-round Swiss system rapid chess competition by scoring a total of 6.0 points against other contenders from different parts of Metro Manila and nearby province.
Tiu won over Jomarie Monteza in the first round, Aanatoly Pascua Jr. in the second round, John Lee Antonio in the third round, Ryan Recososa in the fifth round, Samson "Chin" Lim in the sixth round and Don Tyrone Delos Santos in the seventh and final round.

Tiu took the crown with a winner over the other tie break points.
Tiu, a member of PCAP's Quezon City Simba's Tribe, bagged the P6,000 champion’s purse while Delos Santos pocketed P4,000 for his second place finish.
