"Your Grandmaster title has been confirmed by FIDE, congratulations," said FIDE executive director Casto Abundo in a text message to Mariano.

Needing two points in the last two rounds to complete the required number of points for a GM norm, Mariano did just that, halving the point with eventual winner GM Nguyen Anh Dung of Vietnam in the morning match and then drawing with Myanmar GM Zaw Win Lay in the afternoon.

Those victories hiked Mariano’s output to 4.5 points, half-a-point behind Vietnam GM Nguyen Anh Dung in the tough double-round robin event featuring six players. But more importantly, it moved the 29-year-old Mariano to within two points of obtaining the third and final GM norm with four rounds to go.
