SAN Beda and Lyceum of the Philippines University beat their semis foes to arrange a showdown for the NCAA Season 100 senior chess title at the Ayala Malls Manila Bay.

The Lions drew with the Jose Rizal U Bombers 2-2 but advanced after emerging with the better tiebreak, having the higher board victory courtesy of Johann Cedrick Gaddi at board three.

The Pirates leaned on the board four win of Jorge Delgado Jr. to dethrone last year’s champion University of Perpetual Help 2.5-1.5 and barge to the finals where they hope to fan hopes of reclaiming the title they last won four years ago.
