9-year-old Chess Prodigy from Albay Hailed Champion in Chess Tourney in Thailand
The 9-year-old chess prodigy from Albay Bince Rafael Operiano bags gold after being hailed as a champion in a chess tournament in Thailand.
The sixth Eastern Asia Youth Chess Championship, which was recently held in Bangkok, Thailand, was won by the young chess master. From November 4 to November 12, Operiano won the competition, taking home the gold.
Kim Donghan of South Korea took second place in Benrose Operiano’s uploaded photo, followed by Tong Nguyen Gia Hung of Vietnam in third, Hen Jung Herng Kyan of Mongolia in fourth, and Sodbaatar Batsaikhan of South Korea in fifth.
The 9-year-old Busac child from Oas, Albay is unquestionably a chess prodigy. Operiano’s rank would change to National Master (NM) when he becomes 10 years old, according to the National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP).
Operiano recently won the Boys Under 9 Category of the Grand Finals of the National Youth and Schools Chess Championships. The competition was held in Zamboanga del Norte at the Dapitan City Cultural Sports Complex.
Benrose, Bince’s father, was looking for financial assistance online to help pay for his son’s training. Ben thanked his son’s trainers in a Facebook update after his most recent success.
He wrote, “6.5 out of 9 round final. Salamat po Lord, Maam Tessie Relleve and Coach Trainer Archie Haig sa lahat ng sumusuporta sa anak ko, salamat po talaga.”
Edcel Lagman Jr., the vice governor of Albay, had earlier sent the chess prodigy his best wishes. He expressed his hope that the Oas local government would provide the young boy with financial incentives and support.
