Manitoba's first family of chess : The Araullos of Notre Dame de Lourdes , saw oldest son Paolo win the OPEN Section played on Saturday and Sunday and youngest daughter Katrina win the RESERVE Section on Saturday . Although both sections were fiercely contested , both members of the Araullo family kept their cool and and emerged victorious .
