Controversy, however, await Literatus and Acedo when they return home to Davao City after several parents had questioned the move of the Davao City Athletic Association (DCAA) Meet chess tournament manager Lydia Ampo to schedule another round of elimination for chess.

The DCAA Meet serves as the basis for the selection of top athletes to the Davao Regional Athletic Association (Davraa) Meet, but this coincided with the Batang Pinoy in Zamboanga City.

With Literatus and Acedo choosing to play in the Batang Pinoy, they missed the chance to compete in the DCAA championship.

National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NFP)-Davao Region director James Infiesto, however, had announced that both players can still compete in the Davraa since an elimination will still be held for the DCAA chess.

Ampo had also confirmed that another round of elimination for chess will be staged.

A controversy, however, erupted after winning players of secondary boys and girls chess and their parents questioned the move of Ampo to have another set of elimination.

Text messages that circulated among the local chess community last week was forwarded to Sun.Star Davao, saying that accommodating Literatus and Acedo, although they didn't go through the actual selection process, is a form of favoritism and is "unfair" for the players who competed in the DCAA chess meet.
