Visually impaired, Redor actually wound up tied for first with identical 5.5 points with Iranian Amir Rabbi Khorasgani, but took the gold through the tiebreaker for having played stronger players through the seven-round series. Mendoza, however, took the mint with the winner-over-the-other rule after beating the top Indon in the previous rounds.
Severino, who led the squad in sweeping both events in the 2018 Jakarta edition, was relegated to the individual bronze medal while Henry Roger Lopez copped the silver behind Tirto following his final-round win over Mongolian Sundui Sonom. Redor, a winner of one gold, two silvers, and one bronze in Jakarta five years ago, said he also hopes to add more to the country’s output in the rapid event.
