01 Dec Canino Leads 18th Asean Age Group Chess Championship
Ruelle “Tawing” Canino remains at the top after suffering a defeat in the current 18th Asean Chess Championship 10-under girls category held in Malaysia.
In an article by sunstar.com.ph, the 9-year-old chess wizard started the first 4 amazing rounds with a whole point advantage. While her teammate, Antonella Berthe Racasa, unfortunately, lost during the fifth round.
Racasa is also currently the National Age Group Chess Champion in the 10-Under Girls Category after recently winning against Canino. Luckily, Racasa is still holding a leading spot due to a half point lead and 5 points in the 6 rounds while defeating Muthusamy Mishalini with a home court advantage.
Canino’s is currently heading with a tight lead against her teammates Racasa and Daren dela Cruz. Both of whom were beaten by Canino in the first round, with 4.5 points each.
