Headed by Emmanuel B. Asi, and Chess Arbiters Association of the Philippines - headed by Rey Colitoy.

hello.

I want to join th club.. how??

         UCPCI joined the intercities in Tarlac last April 11-15, 2009 thru the sponsorhip of Calapan City Government spearheaded by CYSDD Head Marvin Panahon.

         Team Members were:

         Board 1    -  Oscar James Buccat

                   2    -  Arnel Ortiz

                   3    -  Nicasio Rizo Jr.

                    4   -  Melencio Acedera

                    5   -  Emmanuel B. Asi

         Coach       - Esteban Alcantara

          It was a wonderful experience!  Team members became closer and closer.  Our games were well played though we suffered losses.  But on the 14th the team decided to withdraw from the competition as our buddy Nicasio "Jun/Jcar" Rizo suffered an asthma attack coupled with complications that led to his immediate death.

            We would like to thank City Mayor Aro, the City Sports Coordinators, DSWD and St. Peter personnel and all chess enthusiast who contributed money and undying  support to our buddy Jun Rizo. His body was brought to Calapan smoothly.

             Our condolences to his wife Cristy and child.  Jun told our coach Steve before he died that he long dreamed of joining the team but his asthma prevented him most of the time.

             After the incident most of team members told me that they will perhaps not play chess for a long time.  I told them, why should they, the death of our buddy is God's will and stopping from playing chess will be like killing our selves.

            Last April 19 in short notice, we joined the Pinamalayan Chess Open which we dominated.  Special thanks to the organizers although the pairing system was below par we enjoyed the games.

 

 

          During our stay there we exchanged views with other players.  We bought some chess DVDs to improve our games and more importantly we registered as member of the National Chess Federation of the Philippines.

              Some

of the games in the 2009 intercities       

Some of the games of Calapan in the intercities

Oppurtunity knocks only once but our baby boy can't seethe door

Arnel Ortiz, the unpredictable many time champion of Calapan City who like GM Ljubojevic of Yuguslavia - beating the top players but losing heavily in lowly rated players

The player should be in the playing hall before the start of the game otherwise, the player will be in default.  I arrived with three minutes to go.  Many players were punished.  My heart is pumping furiously I could'nt think well.

When it time its time

When it's time it's time

Arnel was a late replacement for Elmer Banaag who was not allowed by their company to compete.  Lucky for Calapan City, Arnel was there when the team needed him most.

Mel Acedera should be our Board 1 but in the end we convinced him to sacrifice for the team and play board 4 instead

Icing of the cake.  Team Calapan defeating DepEd Pasig B. Oscar played it safe as the team was already assured of team victory (3-1).

The game is between Emmanuel B. Asi (Calapan) vs Pablo Guerra Jr. (Pola) last April 19, 2009 at Pinamlayan Plaza dubbed as Pinamalayan Open.

Incidentally the winners are:

1.  Emmanuel B. Asi (Calapan)  - Champion

2. Glenn Openia - Socorro - 1st Runner Up

3. Mel Acedera ( Calapan) - 2nd Runner up

                                             4. Pablo Guerra (Pola )   - 3rd Runner up

                                             5. Jojo (Calapan) - 4rth Runner up.

         All were tied at 4/5 but after tie break your truly emerged as the winner (lol)

           Special thanks to Nelson and company of Pinamalayan Chess Club.  Hope pairings will be smooth next time.

      The 17th Shell National Youth Active Chess Championship Southern Luzon Leg concluded last July 19, 2009.  Organized by Shell thru Tournament Director Alexander Dinoy and IA Gene Policarpio as Chief Arbiter, the Juniors and Kiddies were participated by 194 & 304 strong chess players respectively.

       Calapan City had no participation for year 2007 and 2008 but this  year promised to have a bright prospect for the Calapenos because of good showing in the MIMAROPA and  Palarong Pambansa of the Kiddies and exposure of the Juniors in the local tournaments and exposure in the National Intercities in Tarlac.

           The coaching staff goal for the Juniors to be on the upper 50% and Kiddies to be in the upper 30% in their Groups were achieve.  The Merilles as expected performed well as they landed in the top 20 in their division.  Our top player Nezil Arj Merilles was punished for holding the clock in game 5 of the very crucial game which lead to his defeat.  The team protested  the verdict to settle once and for all the our Calapan City chess players were not thought  to cheat during blitz games. Nezil could have been in the top if not for the verdict.  But that's all water under the bridge, there are still other tournaments (particularly Shell) were he can showcase his talent.

         Intercities campaigner Oscar James Buccat emerged as the highers scorer in the Juniors with 4.5 points.  Local talent Reichelyn Villan, now playing board 4 at DLSU Lipa had 4 points.
