Guesting before the weekly Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum held at the NCCC Mall Davao B3 Center Family Room on Thursday, National Arbiter (NA) Ely Acas said the chessfest is sponsored by brangay councilor Joseph Dumogho so that woodpushers in their barangay will have a tournament to hone further their skills.
Acas said the chessfest is sanctioned by the National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP).
He said 100 players already registered to join the six-round Swiss System format competition.
The categories in the chessfest are the following: 30 years old and below, 16 years old and below and 12 years old and below
Some the promising players who will compete in the chessfest are last year’s 12-below champion Wesley Jovan Magbanua of the Jose Maria College and 16-below champion Eric Yngayo who are both aiming to defend their titles successfully.
Those who can register early can also get free shirts, snacks and lunch.
Big cash prizes will be given to the winners of each of the categories.
The top top three winners of the 30 years old and below category will receive P8,000, P4,000 and P2,000 with medals.
The fourth to 10th placers will not go home empty-handed as they will also take home consolation prizes of P500 each with medals. The best female will also receive P1,000 and a medal. The 16-below champion, however, will take home P5,000 while the next two winners will grab P2,500 and P1,000 with medals.
The fourth to 10th placers will also receive P300 each and medals. In the 12 years old and below category, the top three winners will receive P3,000, P1,500 and P800 with medals while the fourth to 10th placers will be given P200 each.
