PALAYAN CITY, NUEVA
ECIJA—Grandmasters Jayson Gonzales, Darwin Laylo and Bong Villamayor bested their untitled opponents Wednesday to share the early lead in the 1st Gov. Aurelio Umali Cup at the Sierra Madre Suites here.

Gonzales downed Leonardo Alidani in 28 moves a Queen’s Pawn Opening-London variation while Laylo subdued Winston Silva in 24 moves of an English Opening. Villamayor beat Teddy Santos in 41 moves of a Queen’s Gambit.

GMs Eugene Torre, Mark Paragua and John Paul Gomez also enjoyed winning positions over separate foes at press time.


It's all we can get from this tournament. No such thing as a running website for the updates, live games, pgn games, overall standing, pairings, photos, forum, etc.

Isn't this supposed to be the first grand tournament of the NCFP for 2009?
