                    [Summary] => Six of the country’s top chessers, including GMs Eugene Torre and Bong Villamayor, pulled out of the National Open finals, reducing the aspirants for the national team competing in this year’s Southeast Asian Games to 11 players.


Villamayor opted to stay put in Singapore where he coaches its national team while Torre stood pat on his decision not to join the event that will select the members of the standard chess team seeing action in the biennial games slated Nov. 27-Dec. 5 here.
