00:05After the history of gold at the 31st Abu Dhabi International Chess Festival,
00:10it is the one who is a Pinoy Women Chess Grandmaster,
00:15Janelle May Freyna,
00:17at the 46th World Chess Olympiad in September.
00:20He is known as Martin Javier,
00:23who is in the game.
00:27Sa loob ng labing isang taon,
00:30siya ang numero uno sa listahan ng Philippine Women's Chess Players.
00:34Ayon sa feeder rating list,
00:36na siyang opisyal na governing body para sa sport na chess sa buong mundo.
00:41Mula 2017,
00:43siya rin ang una at tanging Filipina na naitanghal na woman grandmaster sa chess.
00:50Meet our three-time and current Philippine Women's Chess Champion.
00:5430-year-old chess trailblazer,
00:57Janelle May Freyna.
01:00Nakuha ko yan because I played in the World Chess Olympiad in Baku, Azerbaijan.
01:06Nalo ko yung mga international woman grandmasters din.
01:10May kasamang prayers na yun.
01:13She made history last year after winning the country's first international women's chess title
01:18in the 31st Abu Dhabi International Chess Festival.
01:22Feeling ko naman yung mga years ng pag-training ko doon siguro nabuhos.
01:29Sa murang edad na labing isa, maagang nakamate ang bikula ng si Janelle,
01:35opening doors for her chess journey.
01:37Actually, it was my brother.
01:39Naipasa niya sa akin yung hilig niya maglaro ng chess.
01:42That's why I'm very grateful.
01:44And then, mayroong mga school events like yung mga intramurals.
01:49Doon ako nagsimula.
01:50And then, palarong pambansa.
01:55Sa 2021 Southeast Asian Games, wag yung si Janelle ng double bronze
02:00para sa women's rapid chess at women's individual blitz.
02:04At sa darating na September, nakatakda siyang sumabak sa 46th World Chess Olympiad
02:10sa Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
02:12Iba yung joy when you share it with others, lalo ng mga teammates.
02:17Since 2020, ay nagtuturo na rin ang chess si Janelle.
02:21I advocate for kids to play chess because sa akin, pananaw, walang lugi sa chess.
02:29Because if you start learning chess at an early age,
02:32the chances of you for becoming really a better player ay napakataas.
02:36Ito subukan natin makipaglaro sa isang grandmaster.
02:41Just background or basics lang po ang alam ko.
02:44Medyo matagal na ako hindi nakapaglaro.
02:45Siyempre, pag nagsisimula pa lang sa chess,
02:48ang number one na binibigay kong advice is,
02:50you always fight for the center.
02:52Okay.
02:54Fighting for the center.
02:56Masunurin naman siya, nalagay niya sa gitma.
03:11Checkmate.
03:14Nakilala natin ang only female grandmaster sa chess ng Pilipinas.
03:20At nakalaro pa natin siya sa isang chess game.
03:24There you have it.
03:25This has been Martin Avier.
03:27Janelle Mayfraga.
03:28Keeping you in the game.
03:30I'll see you in the game.
03:33I'll see you in the game.
03:34I'll see you in the game.
03:35I'll see you in the game.
03:36I'll see you in the game.
03:36I'll see you in the game.
03:36I'll see you in the game.
