Alex Milagrosa, who gained fame by defeating 3 strong Chinese players in the 1989 Far East Bank-Philippine Open, died after he fell and hit his head in the bathroom of his sister's home on Monday, August 31. He was 62.
The Bohol-born Milagrosa, the third of 10 children, had been the coach of the FEU high school chess team for 15 years. Of his victory over Ye Jiangchuan, one of China's top players, Chess Asia wrote: “One of the most brilliant games of the tournament. If there is a brilliancy prize, this should have gotten it. Milagrosa's conduct of the game from the opening to the culmination of the attack is quite exemplary.”
Philippine chess legend Eugene Torre said Milagrosa could create attacking chances or pressure against a position.Jayson Gonzales, FEU's head coach, said Milagrosa was “one of my idols in the attack.”
