CEBU, Philippines - Tony Cabibil completed a five-game sweep to rule the March edition of the Cebu Executives and Professionals Chess Association (CEPCA) Monthly Tourmnament last Sunday at Handura Pizza along Gorordo Avenue, this city.
Cabilbil, a former collegiate standout when he was still a varsity at Southwestern University, opened his bid with a rousing win over CEPCA President Jerry Maratas. He then subdued Tony Barade, Romy Pialan and Rey Flores before taming Rosendo Yamyamin in the final round.
The former two-time Cebu blitz champion, thus, advanced into the grand finals scheduled this December with no confirmed venue. – EBV (FREEMAN)
