Rommel Ganzon
National Master · Toledo City Trojans, PCAP

A giant-killer, on and off the board.

Rommel Ganzon is a National Master from Cebu, one of the most formidable woodpushers in the Visayas — known for regularly overcoming International Masters and fellow National Masters through sharp, high-pressure tactical play in open-field tournaments.

Coaching Background

15 years of coaching, 100+ students trained. Two of his own students — John Michael Silvederio and Jerish John Dalde Velarde — went on to become National Masters themselves. He served as Head Coach for the University of the Visayas chess team, training varsity student-athletes and orchestrating team strategy for the CESAFI inter-collegiate league. In September 2025 he personally hosted the NM Rommel Ganzon Cup U2050 at Robinsons Galleria Cebu, giving rising local talent a real platform to test their tactical limits.

Balanced

We patch up your weaknesses so you feel equally comfortable in a wild tactical mess or a slow endgame grind.
