Filipino chess prodigy Christian Gian Karlo Arca is set to compete in tournaments abroad to accomplish his bid to become the country's next International Master (IM).

The 14-year-old grade 8 student from Dasmariñas Integrated High School recently claimed the chess title of FIDE Master after finishing the boys under-18 division of the Mayor Darel Dexter Uy-National Age Group Chess Championships as a co-champion last April in Dipolog City.
