Yanika Seratubias took a long break from competitive chess but she proved that talent will always show itself. Here she defeats her first National Master. Ronald Llavanes of Southern Conference co-leader Camarines, who likes counter-attacking positions, chooses a stodgy setup with 4..c6, apparently hoping she would become too ambitious and be punished. But Seratubias, who allowed her last master foe to escape with a draw, nails down the point.
