Olongapo City will host the Invitational FIDE Age Group Standard Chess Tournament from May 10-12 at the Gordon College of East Tapinac Oval Sports Complex with hopes of giving young Filipino woodpushers a chance to gain FIDE rating points.
Open to all Filipino chessers aged 20 years old and below, the three-day tournament will use the nine-round Swiss System format and will stake a total cash pot worth P35,000 plus the FIDE rating points to all participants. The event is divided into three categories—12-and-under (2007 cutoff year), 16-and-under (2003) and the premier 20-and-under (1999).
