WITH kiddies entries (14-under) now going 300, the Cagayan de Oro leg of the 18th Shell National Youth Active Chess is almost done with its maximum target of 500 participants.
The junior category (20 and below), however, is still wide-open with Misamis Oriental General Comprehensive High School (MOGCHS) almost single-handedly filling up the first 100 slots.

"Medyo ga-decline gyod ang number sa mga juniors, though our strong and continuous program for the kiddies is telling why gapanobra na `ta sa 14-under level," observed Asset-in-chess trainer Lorenzo "Jun" Cuizon.
