Frayna stops Canino, stays in hunt in PNCC

WOMAN Grandmaster Janelle Mae Frayna downed teenage sensation Ruelle Canino in the ninth round to stay in the title hunt in the Philippine National Chess Championships (PNCC) dubbed 'The Battle of Women's Masters' at the City Hall of Malolos, Bulacan.

It was the fourth win in a row for Frayna that propelled her to solo third place with six points, or just a full point behind co-leaders Canino and 2019 winner Woman International Master Jan Jodilyn Fronda with seven points apiece.
