MANILA---International Master Michael Concio Jr. lived up to his high billing to rule the Gov. Ramil L. Hernandez Cup dubbed as 1st Laguna Chess King and Queen Chess Challenge held at the Laguna Sports Complex Basketball Gymnasium, Bubukal, Santa Cruz, Laguna last March 20, 2022.
Concio, a member of the Dasmarinas Chess Academy which saw action in the Eastern Asia Chess Championship 2019 in Tanauan, Batangas and where he earned his International Master title, finished undefeated with 6.5 points on 6 wins and one draw in the tournament organized by the Laguna Provincial Sports and Games Development Office in Partnership with Laguna Chess Association.
