[Title] => Mariano becomes RP’s 5th GM
[Summary] => Ten years after he ruled the Asian Juniors in Malaysia and nine after he obtained his first GM norm in Singapore, Nelson Mariano II became the fifth Filipino grandmaster when he clinched the third and last part of the elusive GM title yesterday in the first ASEAN Chess Confederation GM Circuit in Bangkok.
Needing two points in the last two rounds to complete the required number of points for a GM norm, Mariano did just that, halving the point with eventual winner GM Nguyen Anh Dung of Vietnam in the morning match and then drawing with Myanmar GM Zaw Win Lay in the afternoon.
