By Charles Raymond A. Maxey
THE Davao Chadric Builders came through with another decent finish as it bagged sixth place over a tough field of competitors at the close Tuesday of the 2006 National Inter-Province Chess Team Championship in Cagayan de Oro City.
Chadric, whose participation was bankrolled by engineer Enrico Vanta, ended up with six points in the nine-round Swiss system event to pocket P11,000.
The team is composed of National Master Alex Lupian, US Master Peter Tidoy, Jimmy Dano, Samuel Yu and Dharim Bacus.

Paragua, Samson Lim and Ranier Labay made a silent draw against IM Barlo Nadera, Carlo Magno Rosaupan and Eden Diano, on board 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
Tagaytay City, which is backed by NCFP secretary-general and Tagaytay City mayor Abraham Tolentino Jr., edged Misamis Occidental of Gov. Leo Ocampos, 2.5-1.5, to finish second place with 7.0 points, good for P100,000.
