Batangas hosts Shell Active Chess

07/15/2008

The chase for berths in the national finals of the Shell National Youth Active Chess Championship resumes in Batangas on July 19 to 20 with the staging of the first of two Southern Luzon eliminations at SM City Batangas.

Six players have so far gained spots in the grand finals of the country’s biggest talent search from both the chess-playing students and out-of-school youths. Ateneo’s Jan Garcia and Letran’s Loren Brigham Laceste lead the cast in the competition’s 20-and-under category, while La Salle’s Paulo Bersamina and Jan Nigel Galan head the 14-and-under category with victories in the NCR and Tuguegarao legs, respectively.
