Arca banners PH squad in Indonesia tilt

CHRISTIAN Gian Karlo Arca spearheads a lean but mean five-strong Philippine delegation seeing action in the Eastern Asia Juniors and Girls Chess Championships 2024 unfurling on Friday in Karawaci-Tangerang, Indonesia.

Arca, 15, is eyeing the third and last norm to claim the International Master title that he can achieve if he ends up reigning supreme in this nine-round, six-day tournament that also stakes Grandmaster (GM) and Woman GM norms, and outright IM and Woman International Master titles to the champion.
