UAAP: UST one win away from crown in boys' chess
University of Santo Tomas is one match point away from claiming the UAAP Season 88 boys' chess championship after holding defending champion Far Eastern University-Diliman to a 2-2 draw.
The España-based squad holds 13 match points built on six wins and one draw, and needs just a draw in their final match against De La Salle University to secure the title.
UST coach Ronald Dableo expressed confidence in his team, noting that even a 2-2 draw in the final match would be enough for the championship.
Rookie King Lanz Pamplona secured UST's lone win on Board 2 against FEU-Diliman, while Arena International Master Gabriel Paradero and John Borce split points on Boards 1 and 3.
Jian Carlo Rivera suffered UST's only loss on Board 4 in their match against FEU-Diliman.
