12 yr old Lou Baculna, 13 yr old Queenie Villaflor rules 18 under Youth Tournament




12 year old Lou Vincent Baculna topped the recent under-18 Youth Chess Tournament with a perfect score of 5 points in this 5-round Swiss System event. 13 year old Queenie Villaflor came solo Second Place with four points.



Four players came in tied for Third Place with 3 points apiece. This Quarterly Youth Tournament attracted 18 participants. A number of very young promising players (age 9) made the organizers decide to hold this tournament every two months instead of every quarter. Chess is really coming back to life in this province after a very long hiatus.
