The country’s top and aspiring players will then take the center stage in the individual, team rapid and blitz tournaments where a total pot of ₱500,000 will be up for grabs in four categories. The rapid tournament, which applies a 9-round Swiss system, also dangles a spot to the Professional Chess Association of the Philippines national championship for the winner, who will also bag ₱30,000 top prize.
Aside from the simul, individual and team tournaments, age group, executive and armageddon round-robin events are also lined up for invited chess masters in the three-day tournament. There will also be chess lectures from grandmasters and superstars for masters and students of the sport.
