2009 Las Vegas International Chess Festival

Six-year old Stephen Rome Pangilinan (in photo below) is one of the three young Filipino chess players who will compete in the 2009 Las Vegas International Chess Festival from June 4 to 7 in Nevada, USA.

At six, Pangilinan is the youngest ever Filipino chess player who made it to the Checkmate team.

The other two players are Carmela Galve,14, and Gino Divino Cabual, 12.

We wish the three young Pinoy chessers good luck.
