Layzelle from Vallen High won versus Korina of Crystal Elite High.

On the other hand, Janine and Mysti from Elite School of the South game was a draw so magkakaroon kami ng Stage 3 at ang makakalaban ko ay si Mysti while Janine versus Layzelle.

"Good luck sa atin." nakangiting sabi ni Mysti.

Unlike kay Thea, si Mysti ay mahinhin at mabait. All her smile was sincere, walang halong kaplastikan.

"We will proceed to stage three, now."

I smiled at Mysti and we pick at ako ang nanalo so I chose the black.

She started our game by moving her pawn to e4. Ako naman ay iminove ang pawn ko sa d6. And then her next move is also moving her paw to the d6 and I follow it by moving my bishop to the c6.

Pinatunog ko ang leeg ko dahil nakaramdam ako ng pangagawit. I also yawned dahil inaantok na talaga ako. Napatingin naman sa akin si Mysti at ngumiti.

She then moved her bishop to f5. I then moved my bishop to c7. Nag-isip siya saglit bago ginalaw ang Queen niya diagonally papunta sa d3.

I moved my pawn to a6 and she then moved her bishop to c4. Tahimik naman akong nag-isip ng susunod na move ko.

I moved my pawn to the e5 this time and later on dhe moved her queen horizontally to b3. My pawn then ate her pawn and now positioned to d4.

Her queen again moved horizontally to b3. Ako naman ay iginalaw muli ang pawn papunta sa d5. I'm really sleepy.

Napuyat kasi ako kagabi kakaba ng ilang articles about chess again and later on found myself viewing some ig stories on ig. Like, jeez sana pala itinulog ko nalang 'yon.

She moved her queen again to f3. Ako naman ay i-minove ang bishop ko papuntang e7. She also moved her bishop to b3. I then started to move my first knight to the f6. She moved her bishop to d2. By moving my knight on d5 I finally have the chance to ate her other bishop.

I heard her sighed.

Our game proceed at masasabi ko na mahusay siya. She reminds me of Nine, pero mas magaling sa kaniya si Nine.

I wonder kung kumusta na 'yung laro ng kumag na 'yon? After ng tournament at midterm ay kaming dalawa naman ang maglalaban para sa international tournament sa Thailand.

I want to win. Kahit na may potential na rin si Nine. Kahit na ako ang nagturo sa kaniya ng larong chess, at mas magaling ako sa kaniya. I can't hide the fact that as years passed by, nag-iimprove siya.

He's a boy and pagdating sa mga larong may kaugnayan sa mind, masasabi na mas magaling sila. It's also based on articles I had read online.

I'm moving my queen now diagonally to e7 and iniwas niya naman 'yung queen niya by moving it horizontally to b3.

I scanned the chessboard first before moving my bishop to b5. Ilang sandali niyan namang tinitigan ang bishop na ginalaw ko bago iginalaw ang pawn niya sa c3.

Our game is nearing to it's end based sa calculations ko. I hope I can do this.

I moved my bishop to a4. She then moved her pawn to a4.

Pinatunog ko ang daliri ko habang iniisip ng mabuti ang susunod kong i-momove.

"3 points for Layzelle of Vallen High. She will now proceed to the fourth stage."

Oh. Ang bilis naman nilang natapos ni Janine.

Dahil sa narinig ay mas nag-focus pa ako. Kinakabahan na rin ako. Hindi dahil sa laro kundi dahil sa pressure. Kami nalang kasi ni Mysti ang naglalaro at lahat sila ay nakatingin ngayon sa amin.
