Here is our email from the brains behind the Cafe', Morpheus aka Sugardom:
"25 chess players of all ages participated. We have turned away some guys who came in late. The competition was intense. There were several strong players, like coaches. The format was knock-out 2 games. Time control 5/3 with armageddon in case of tie-break. In the finals, we have one named Samuel Senador who is a brother of IM Emmanuel Senador vs Kenneth Ryan Sumilie, an unrated player. Kenneth Ryan won the first Wesley Chess Cafe tournament and went home 2,500 pesos richer."Congratulations to everyone for making this historic event a success!
I went there last night and played six games. The first two were eggs for me against Morpheus and then I won 3 against a nice fellow from Anabu, Imus. Of course I brought my two boys, Freedom and Miguel and because they were so bored waiting for me after feasting on their sandwiches, they played. Nice place indeed to bring your kids and have some chess.
Why not bring your family for a cup of coffee and an unlimited game of chess? Let us support the joint and maintain the place by playing chess at the Cafe'.

Bro Francis, the 28th Jan tournament was participated by 36 players and we still had to turned away 3 players who came in late. It was interesting that there were 3 young ladies who participated. There were some 3 youngsters too. One of them was crying after a loss. hehe
ReplyDeleteTime control was 10-0, 5 rounds swiss system. IM Senador crushed the field with a perfect score.
Will upload the swiss manager results later.
