                    [Summary] => Former Asian Junior champion Nelson Mariano II inched closer to a dream grandmaster title by beating GM Zaw Win Lay of Myanmar in the morning match Tuesday then trounced IM Aung Thant Zin later in the First ASEAN GM chess tournament in Bangkok, Thailand.


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.
