MANILA – Chess Grandmaster (GM) Rogelio “Joey” Antonio Jr. dominated the chess wizards of District IV Quezon City in a 15-board chess simultaneous game held at the Barangay Hall, Barangay Kamuning in Quezon City on Saturday (Dec. 4).

Antonio won 14 of the 15 matches that lasted for about 2 hours. Only Roger Abisan of Barangay Tatalon was able to draw with Antonio.
