Eight-year-old Marius Constante reigned supreme at the recently concluded PSC-NCFP Batang Pinoy Chess Henyo (Luzon leg) held at the Philippine Academy for Chess Excellence on Mindanao Avenue, Quezon City this Saturday.

The chess prodigy from Novaliches, Quezon City, accumulated an undefeated score in six games.

"I am very happy with my victory again," said Marius.

His impressive 5.5/6 score in the 8-10 year old boys section not only outpaced the other participants but also secured his position in the prestigious PSC grassroots program National Developmental Athletes Pool.

Just a week ago, Marius dominated the 21st Noypi Magnolia 13-under category.

NM Jose Rafael "Jojo" Legaspi and FM Noel Dela Cruz assisted Marius in his preparation. -Marlon Bernardino-
