TAGAYTAY CITY -- The National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP) Sunday defied a court’s temporary restraining order by unanimously electing former Surigao del Sur Representative Prospero Pichay and 14 others to a new four-year term. All 175 members gave their nod to Pichay during the NCFP national congress Saturday night at the Tagaytay International Convention Center. NCFP secretary general Samuel Estimo and seven other board members had earlier obtained from the Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 90 a TRO stopping Pichay’s group from holding elections on Jan. 19. Quezon City Rep. Mat Defensor and former Benguet governor Raul Molintas, reportedly part of Estimo’s group, were reelected. FIDE honorary president Florencio Campomanes attended the congress.

Kids get life lesson from chess
ORANGE – The 35th Annual Morrison Scholastic Chess Tournament was held last weekend at St. Paul's Lutheran Church. Dewain Barber, the organizer of the event, is passionate about chess. And he's even more passionate about getting kids involved in it: "I am maintaining Bernard Morrison's dream of seeing kids play chess." The late Bernard Morrison, a Stanton resident, started working with kids and chess in 1974. He traveled to Orange County elementary schools and held free chess tutorials, Barber said. "It seemed appropriate to name this tournament after him," said Barber. The 102 participants in Saturday's free event did more than play chess. According to Barber, "Chess teaches consequences. When you make a bad move, you deal with the consequences." The next tournament will be Nov. 22.For more information, contact Barber at his Anaheim chess shop at 714-998-5508 or visit the American Chess Equipment website at amchesseq.com.
