MHAGE Gerriahlou Sebastian completed an improbable comeback to steal the crown from Ruelle Canino yesterday in the Philippine National Juniors Chess Championship at the PACE in Quezon City.
A point behind the 13-year-old Canino entering the ninth and last round, Sebastian, 15, trampled Rinoa Mariel Sadey and then witnessed the former falter against 2019 champion Vic Glysen Derotas to claim the title.
When the smoke of battle dissipated, Sebastian, a Far Eastern University stalwart, ended up on top with 7.5 points and shoved Canino down to second with seven points.
