PHILSTAR: SHELL CEBU

Arellano, Tabada pace Shell Cebu chess tiff
(The Philippine Star) Updated August 17, 2009 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Top seed John Bryll Arellano survived the rash of upsets that befell the other fancied bets in the juniors division while Kenneth John Tabada led the march of the favorites in the kiddies play of the 2009 Shell National Youth Active Chess Championships Central Visayas leg at SM City in Cebu City over the weekend.

Arellano toppled Maximo Dungog Jr., Kevin Codinera and Rogelio Clemente Jr. to tow 20 others with perfect scores after three rounds of play in the 20-and-under category of the event that drew a maximum field of 501 players.

But second seed Yves Christian Fiel, third ranked Godfrey Villamor along with a couple of others took stinging setbacks and failed to join Arellano in the lead heading into the last four rounds of the seven-round Swiss system tournament sponsored by Pilipinas Shell.

Khier Embrado stunned Fiel in the opening round then trounced Villamor in the third to join the leaders, who include James Torres, Jun Cauba, Joseph Fernandez, Kraig Quinain, Venancio Loyola Jr., Daryn Torres, Neil Ortiz, Michael Pagaran, Victor Alicaway Jr., Jay Sombillo, Bhell Ortiz, Mark Mendez, Alex Sombillo, Junel Tunacao, Bernardo Ruelo Jr., Eduard Pilapil, Reuben Reuyan, Edgar Macapos and Adrian Paraiso.

Gracing the opening of the two-day tournament, the fifth leg of a seven-stage nationwide circuit, were Ricky Altonaga, Pilipinas Shell retail district manager for Visayas and Regelle Pelayo, Cebu City SK Federation president, who did the ceremonial moves.

Tabada, meanwhile, crushed Chris Estreba, Vic Derotas and Rhona Canoy to lead 30 others in the 14-and-under class of the tournament under the Shell Active Chess program, which supports the empowerment of the youth as part of the company’s overall Sustainable Development commitment.

Antonio, along with GMs Wesley So and Darwin Laylo will represent the country in the World Chess Cup on November 20 to December 15 in Khanty- Mansiysk, Russia– a historic feat in Philippine chess with three campaigners.

Symmetrical central pawn formations do not, in general, allow a suitable basis for attacking operations. The reason is that in most cases there will be one or more files which both sides will have to occupy, and the result will usually be exchanges with consequent drawish tendencies. Euwe & Kramer in The Middlegame

The first principle of opening play is rapid development of all the pieces. Yusupov in Build Up Your Chess

Nothing is more important than safeguarding your K by castling early, within the first dozen moves, if possible. Evans in The 10 Most Common Chess Mistakes

Pawn moves are only admissible in the opening stage when they either help to occupy the center, or stand in connection with its occupation; that is to say a pawn move which protects its own or attacks the enemy center. Nimzovich in My System

In the opening, it is important to focus on developing the pieces and on the need to develop them as close to the center as posible. Yakovlev in Planning in the Middlegame

12 Nf1 Qc7 13 Ng3 Rad8
In the opening, Rs may have no open files, yet they will usually stand better on the central files since there is the potential of pawn exchanges which open a file. Capablanca in Chess Fundamentals
