Nouri earns IM title after placing 3rd at 7th Asean chessfest

SINACABAN, Misamis Occidental —Thirteen years ago Alekhine Nouri becoming the country's youngest FIDE Master. However, making the next step of earning the International Master (IM) title has eluded the now 20-year-old Nouri. But on Sunday, at the 7th ASsean Individual Chess Championships at the AMORAP Adventure Park here, Nouri became an instant IM after placing third in the men's open division. "Nabigla ako. I was only expecting to earn FIDE ratings. My happiness is overwhelming for this feat," Nouri told the Manila Times after securing an outright IM title. After defeating compatriot IM Michael Concio Jr in the ninth and final round on Sunday night, Nouri found himself tied with five foreign rivals with 6 points. Luckily, Nouri clinched third place after the tiebreak was applied. "Hindi pa rin ako maka paniwala. Swerte rin mga highest rated lalo na sa foreigner ang mga naka tunggali ko kaya't pomabor sa atin ang tiebreaker," added Nouri. On the top board in the final round, IM Shrivatri Anuj of India defeated IM James Morris of Australia (5.5 points)  to up his total to 7 points, enough to win the men's title that paved the way for him to become the 100th grandmaster in India. Shrivatri was the second Indian to claim the direct GM title at stake in the Governor Henry Oaminal-bankrolled tourney after his then IM compatriot  V.S. Raahul did it during the 6th ASEAN meet here last year. Indonesia's Satria Duta Cahaya (5.5 pts) tried to scuttle the strong Vietnamese  GM Nguyen Duc Hoa on board 2 tiff but could only settle for a draw after a lengthy struggle. Cahaya's female counterpart WIM Shafira Devi Herfesa could not be denied, however, of the crowning glory as she delivered a monster show in the cash-rich tourney organized by Arena Grandmaster Rey Urbiztondo and supervised by the National Chess Federation of the Philippines headed by GM Jayson Gonzales and International Arbiter Reden Cruz. Already obtaining the women's throne and the Woman Grandmaster title via an untouchable 7-point output with a round to spare, the 18-year-old Indon sensation never tested as she remains on fire in her final round battle. Playing black against Woman FIDE Master Shania Mae Mendoza of the host country, Herfesa looked like in the receiving end in the opening phase but her  resourcefulness slowly changed the complexion of the game. In a complicated middle game, Herfesa found a way to build momentum with her more active pieces that led to a blazing assault and Mendoza's resignation in the face of an inevitable mating net. Early leader WIM Marie Antoinette San Diego of the Philippines (5.5 pts) lost steam in the final half of the nine-round hostilities, and yielded in the final round against the Russian IM and last year's ruler Evgenija Ovod of the Federation (5 pts). WIM Ruelle Canino, 18, from Cagayan de Oro City, who finished second here last year, also fell in her final round bout with fellow 5-pointer Woman Grandmaster Nguyen Thi Mai Hung of  Vietnam. The top10 players in the men's are IM Shrivatri of India (7 pts), GM Duc Hoa  (6.5 pts), FM Nouri (6 pts) , IM Viani (6 pts),  IM Nguyen Quoc Hy (6 pts)  IM Cahaya (6 pts), IM Ameya Audi of India (6 pts),  IM Parang Ritviz of India (6 pts), IM Bala Chandra Prasad Dhulipalla of India (5.5 pts) and IM Morris (5.5 pts). In the women's section are WIM Herfesa, WIM Bordoloi Pratitee, WGM Nguyen Thi Mai Hung, IM Ovod, WIM San Diego, WFM Shree Reddy Keerti, WIM Nguyen Hong Anh, WGM Janelle Mae Frayna and WFM Jemaicah Yap Mendoza.

Mapua gets back at Lyceum in NCAA play-in preview

MANILA, Philippines -- Mapua University snapped its 3-game skid and got back at Lyceum of the Philippines University, 71-68, in the preview of the NCAA Season 102 men's basketball tournament play-in encounter at the PhilSports Arena Monday.

UAAP metes out 2-game suspension on Ateneo coach Louie Alas

MANILA, Philippines — The UAAP announced on Monday that it meted out a 2-game suspension on Ateneo de Manila Blue Eagles head coach Louie Alas for two infractions of unsportsmanlike conduct in the Season 89 men’s basketball tournament.  Alas reached the limit following his conduct against UP on November 7 at the Araneta Coliseum, where he entered the court and pointed and cursed at UP’s Jacob Bayla following the player’s endgame dunk. Ateneo lost to UP, 82-74, but the game was already decided before Bayla’s dunk.  The UAAP added that Alas pointed at and cursed at Bayla again during the post-game handshake. Alas, who made his first infraction against UST on October 17, will serve the first of his 2-game suspension on Wednesday, November 11, when Ateneo faces Adamson University at the Araneta Coliseum, and on Sunday, November 15, when his team takes on the University of Santo Tomas at the same venue.

Season-long race gives way to knockout drama at Anvaya Cove

Season-long race gives way to knockout drama at Anvaya Cove

MANILA, Philippines — The long and grueling campaign of the 2026 Philippine Golf Tour and Ladies PGT comes down to one final test – a battle of nerves, strategy and shot-making where every hole counts and there is little room for mistakes. The season officially winds up with the ICTSI Anvaya Cove Match Play Invitational on Nov. 18-20, bringing together the top performers of the PGT and LPGT for a three-day showdown featuring a dramatic shift from the familiar stroke-play format to head-to-head match play. After crisscrossing the country and tackling some of its finest championship courses in a demanding season-long campaign, the men and ladies now face an entirely different challenge at Anvaya Cove Golf Club in Morong, Bataan, widely regarded as one of the country's premier golfing destinations. At stake are not only season-ending bragging rights but also a total purse of P2 million for the PGT field and P1.5 million for the LPGT competitors. Angelo Que, coming off back-to-back victories in the PGT Order of Merit race, leads the 32-player men's field, which also features the season's other leading campaigners, including No. 2 Jeffren Lumbo and No. 3 Clyde Mondilla, as well as Rupert Zaragosa and defending champion Keanu Jahns. The formidable cast also includes a blend of seasoned campaigners and emerging talents, led by Sean Ramos, Jhonnel Ababa, Tony Lascuña, Russell Bautista, Art Arbole, Guido van der Valk, Zanieboy Gialon, Elee Bisera, Dino Villanueva, Reymon Jaraula, Enrico Gallardo, Gabriel Manotoc, Kristoffer Arevalo and Ira Alido. All will be looking to navigate the knockout stages and survive the pressure-packed duels that will determine who gets to finish the season on top. Yvon Bisera, fresh from capturing her maiden LPGT Order of Merit crown, headlines the compact 16-player women's field, which also boasts last week's Apo leg champion Harmie Constantino, Tiffany Lee, Chanelle Avaricio, Sarah Ababa, Martina Miñoza, Gretchen Villacencio, Princess Superal, Daniella Uy, Monica Mandario, Velinda Castil, Mafy Singson, Kim Seoyun, Rev Alcantara, Chihiro Ikeda and Angela Mangana. Unlike stroke play, where a costly hole can still be offset by strong performances elsewhere in the round, match play puts a premium on winning individual holes. Players must constantly adjust their strategy to their opponents, seize opportunities when they arise and quickly shake off mistakes. A hole lost is just one point conceded, but a single lapse in concentration can swing the momentum of a match. Nerves, composure and the ability to deliver under pressure could prove just as decisive as power and precision. Jahns knows exactly what it takes to conquer the season-ending event. The Fil-German overwhelmed the field in last year's edition, showcasing his power and class before closing out the championship with a 3&2 victory over van der Valk in the final at The Country Club. That triumph capped an impressive three-title campaign for Jahns. Although he went without a victory this season, enduring a couple of near-misses, Jahns remains determined to make another strong run and preserve his hold on the match-play crown. But the challenge at Anvaya Cove will be anything but straightforward. Maintained in championship condition throughout the year, the course presents a distinctive test, with two contrasting nine-hole loops that blend rugged mountain ridges and sweeping seaside vistas. Its varied terrain and coastal setting offer a compelling mix of strategic demands and scenic beauty, requiring players to combine sound course management with precise shot execution. The venue last hosted a major professional golf event in 2023, when it staged the ICTSI Anvaya Cove Ladies Invitational, which also served as a leg of the Taiwan LPGA Tour. Bianca Pagdanganan dominated the international field, winning by six strokes to capture her first professional title. Three years later, Anvaya Cove once again takes center stage, this time as the setting for the Philippine pro tours' final act – where season-long consistency gives way to the unforgiving, hole-by-hole demands of match play and only the toughest competitors will survive.
