Janelle Mae Frayna lost to Hungarian Grandmaster Attila Czebe but bounced back by trouncing Belgian Tim Peeters to stay in the top 10 going into the ninth and final round of the Brugse Meesters 2017 in Brugge, Belgium Wednesday night.

Frayna, who is now tied at fifth spot with 10 others with 6 points, was playing second seed GM Alexandre Dgebuadze of Belgium in the last round at press time with hopes of pulling off a win and finish closer to the top.

Interestingly, GM Jayson Gonzales, Frayna’s coach and trainer, was part of that group after downing Englishman Andrew Stone.

The former National Chess Federation of the Philippines executive director was battling Dutch Eelke DeBoer in the final round.

Dutch International Masters Lucas Van Foreest and Thomas Beerdsen led the way with seven points each.
