  1. This victory over Gino Cabual of Paranaque City is a milestone in Rhal's chess career for several reasons. First, this is his first vs a veteran kiddy chess player and Cabual came here fresh from his 3rd Place finish at the National Age Group 14-Under held in Pangasinan. Second, this win set his longest winning streak of 5 wins in a row. Third, this is his first appearance at Board #1 in a Shell tournament.

  2. And fourth, which is just awesome, is that the moves of this game and the others were recalled by Rhal after the day's work as we were having a late afternoon snack!

    This uncanny abilty is a newly developed talent!
