NATIONAL Master Emmanuel Senador came up with a big game in the penultimate round to grab the over-all leadership from International Master Chito Garma in the Congressman Prospero “Butch” Pichay Sinulog Open Chess tournament yesterday at the Aznar Coliseum.
Senador tripped fellow NM Mirabeau Maga in 26 moves of a Reti opening to collect seven points after eight rounds.
IM Garma, who led after the sixth round, absorbed an upset from FIDE Master Anthony Makinano, who jumped to take a share of second place with 6.5 points.
Makinano stopped Garma in 39 moves of a King’s Indian defense.
IM Barlo Nadera and NM Efren Bagamasbad also took shares of the second place after inking contrasting victories.
