Cebuano IM Takes First

This is a piece of news that I've been meaning to post. Being from the island provice of Cebu, I am very glad to share this news of international master Joseph Sanchez.

Paris-based Sanchez last week finished in shared first place at the 5th International Open in Condom, France. He collected 7 points out of 9 games.
