MCC 1850-below

Here's an info I grabbed from the January 13, 2009 issue of the Manila Bulletin:

The MCC 1850-below standard chess tournament gets underway at 1pm on Saturday (January 17) at the lower 2F of St. Francis Square located behind SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City.

The tournament is open to beginners, unrated and rated players with standard NCFP ratings not over 1850, regardless of ages and sexes.

The interesting thing about this tournament is that the six-year old Stephen Rome Pangilinan is reported to participate in the event.

Remember this little boy who at the age of six can beat opponents more than twice his age? As other onlookers said, this boy is even better than Wesley So! (Let's see if this is true.)

If time allows, I'll drop by the venue this Saturday to watch this boy again and get some pictures of him in action.
