Bernardo rules open class of Asian PWD chess
Darry Bernardo emerged victorious in the premier open section of the 3rd Asian Chess Championships for players with disabilities, leading the Philippines to a dominant performance in the weeklong event held in Tagaytay City.
Bernardo secured the championship by defeating his compatriot Arman Subaste in the final round, ultimately winning on tiebreaks against Kazakhstan's Alimzhan Ayapov after both players finished with 7.5 points.
The Philippines had already secured three other gold medals prior to Bernardo's win, with FIDE Master Sander Severino (open blitz), Cheyzer Mendoza (women blitz), and Arman Subaste (open rapid) also claiming top honors.
Kyla Jane Langue earned a silver medal in her event after a tiebreak loss to Vietnamese Nguyen Thi Hong, but she secured a spot in the national team for upcoming international tournaments, including the ASEAN Para Games in Thailand.
Cheyzer Mendoza also secured a bronze medal in the women's blitz category with 6.5 points after a draw with Kazakh Aiganym Kambarova.
