Journeyman Drigo Teves had something to say to Inigo.
"Congratulations Michael Jan Stephen "Bonbon" Rosalem Inigo solo champion in 2022 Tanjay City Fiesta Chess Tournament in the under 16 category tournament with a perfect score 7 out of 7 rounds.
Bonbon is known as giant killer in chess I'm not sure giant killer fits because, Bon is a giant himself. Creative, dynamic and given the right conditions, absolutely bloodthirsty over the board.
Go look at this guy's games. He has several immortal attacking wonders against top class opposition including the won game against IM Julijan Plenca drew with GM Ivan Saric during the live simultaneous chess online at UQCC and a won game against GM Antonio in the recent simul in Dumaguete City dubbed as GM Rosendo C. Balinas Negros Oriental Open Chess Tournament."
Joemel Narzabal, Arleah Cassandra Sapuan Yzabella and Louise Miguel Roquillas ended up tied at the fourth to seventh placers with 5.5 points.
Completing the top 10 finishers with 5.0 points each were Jhurell Rodjun Ferrer, Von Isaiah Marana and Rhed Cabebe.
The said event organized by Tanjay City LGU and Tanjay City Chess Club in close cooperation with Tournament Director Engr. Rocky Rocamora and National Arbiter Mart Olendo.-Marlon Bernardino-
