1st Edang Rapid Chess Tournament



(TOP PHOTO): Rev. Larry S. Teodoro, or simply "Pastor Larry" to his friends and constituents (in white shirt without a cap), eagerly administers the 1st Edang Chess Rapid Tournament held beside the barangay hall of Brgy. 154 Zone 16 in Pasay City last May 24. Notably, young participants, who attend Pastor Larry's free chess clinics using GM Susan Polgar's chess lessons, outnumbered adult participants. Being the culmination of Pastor Larry's chess clinics for the summer vacation, the event was staged in coordination with members of the Malibay Chess Club.
