00:00 More than 100 wood pushers participated in the Blitz event of Chess
00:05 as part of the 63rd National Chess Competition in Marikina.
00:10 Let's meet the participants of the 2ndary level earlier here in the studio of Daryl Oclares.
00:16 The battle of the Chess Competition in the 63rd National Chess Competition here in Marikina City was a result of the quick and quick thinking of Descartes.
00:27 The first participants were the young wood pushers from 17 regions in 7 rounds of Blitz Individual Chess.
00:33 The first one to participate was Lexi Grace Hernandez from the National Capital Region.
00:38 After all, she won all of her games.
00:41 Hernandez admitted that she is happy with the results from different regions.
00:46 That's why it's a good experience for her to be the first and last to participate in the National Chess Competition.
00:52 It's a good experience for me because this is my first game and I'm the last.
00:58 I think all the regions are good because they are all good.
01:05 My strategy is to think of good positions in every game.
01:16 I need to win every game. I just think of every game.
01:22 Mark J. Bacojo, who was the secondary boys Blitz Individual Event, was undefeated in the Chess Competition.
01:30 For Bacojo, the International Competitions for Manneggs and National Games were a big help for him.
01:39 I was waiting for them to make a mistake because the Blitz Games are only 3 minutes and 2 seconds.
01:46 Of course, the International Competitions were more pressure because we are from other countries.
01:51 It was a big help for me because there was less pressure in the National Competitions.
01:57 Tomorrow, the Chess will continue here in Marikina Hotel for the Round 2 and 3 of the Standard Event.
