                    [Title] => Paragua leads RP sweep
                    [Summary] => The Philippines made another 1-2 finish on the international chess stage five weeks after Ronald Dableo and Mark Paragua topped the Asian Zonals in Vietnam with Paragua this time hogging the spotlight by ruling the XV Open Cannes International Chess Championships Sunday.


But it took a win over Dableo in the final round and a superior tiebreak score to nip compatriot Joseph Sanchez and Dimitar Marholev of Bulgaria for the crown in a victory that was more of a triumph of the spirit for the 19-year-old player seeking to become the country’s next grandmaster.

Tinapos ng 19-anyos na si Paragua ang nine-round Swiss system tournament na hawak ang pitong puntos.

Katulad ni Paragua na may pitong marka ang kababayang si Joseph Sanchez at Dimitar Marholev ng Bulgaria, ngunit dahil sa mas mataas na tiebreak points ay ipinagkaloob kay Paragua ang kampeonato.
