Jojie is a chess club member in Amkor Technology. He learned to play chess during his gradescool. He already played against Asia's 1st Grandmaster Eugene Torre in a simultaneous exhibition in Amkor. " I know before the start of the game that I will lose it because he(Eugene Torre) never lost a single game in any exhibition match in the country. Jojie said. I just wanted to play him a good game. I think a 21-move game is a good one. I lost but this is a dream came true. I know every promising filipino player would want to play against him."

Chess, game of skill between two people that is played using specially designed pieces on a square board comprised of 64 alternating light and dark squares in eight rows of eight squares each. The vertical columns on the board that extend from one player to the other are called files, and the horizontal rows are called ranks. The diagonal lines across the board are called diagonals.
