Former Benguet Gov. Raul Molintas yesterday resigned as co-chair of the internal affairs committee of the National Chess Federation of the Philippines, claiming he didn’t submit any report recommending the suspension of six players for their involvement in the game-fixing scandal.


Molintas said his resignation, which he had already sent to NCFP president Rep. Prospero "Butch" Pichay Jr. of Surigao, is irrevocable.

Chess players have protested the inclusion of Willie Abalos in the committe tasked  by the National Chess Federation of the Philippines to investigate the game-fixing issue.


This after Abalos was found to have a personal grudge with International Master Ronald Dableo, one of the players he has implicated in the scandal that has rocked RP chess.


"Out of delicadeza, Abalos should resign as member of the group investigating the game-fixing scandal because he has a quarrel with Dableo," said a source close to Dableo in Filipino.

Faced with a boycott by a big group of players, the National Chess Federation of the Philippines yesterday decided to cancel the men’s tournament altogether in the ongoing National Open chess finals at the Tagaytay City International Convention Center.


Go Teng Kok, the NCFP president, made the decision to call off the tournament, which would select the composition of the RP team to this year’s SEA Games. The third round was supposed to be played yesterday.
