The Eagles notched their fifth win after six games after they beat Tacloban and Palawan on February 2.
With their recent wins, the Eagles now have 89 points.
The team dubbed Davao Chess Wizards joined the PCAP Premier Cup tournament last year as a guest team where they were able to reach the quarterfinals round.
This year, the team is focused and prepared to win the PCAP crown with a formidable line-up made up mostly of veteran chess players who carried the flag of the city in local, national, and international chess tournaments.
Leading the team is World chess champion for the differently-abled Sander Severino, veteran chess coach Roel Abelgas, former national chess youth champion National Master (NM) Jonathan Tan, DPWH engineer Aglipay Oberio, Panabo City, Davao del Norte NM Henry Lopez, Philippine chess team coach for the differently-abled James Infiesto, Allan Diez, Alexander Lupian, Arnel Iton, Anthony Mosqueda, Cris Yap, Atty. Jong Guevarra, Nap Recosoca, Mary Segara, and former DLSU college chess varsity member Joy Acedo.
With a veteran and strong roster, the Eagles are predicted to once again barge the PCAP playoffs this year and go for the crown if luck permits. (Romeo Braceros Jr.)
