DAVAO CITY -- The 5th Atty. Jong Guevarra Tatluhan Team Chess Tournament is slated on September 30 and October 1 at the New Toril Gym, this city.

“Each team composed of three players must only have an average rating of 2020,” said lawyer Jong Guevarra, an avid chess player and former varsity of the University of Mindanao.

It is a seven round Swiss system format.

“This year’s cash prizes are bigger with at least 30 teams expected to join,” said Guevarra.

The team champion will earn P15,000 plus a trophy. The second placer will get P10,000, third 7,000, fourth p5,000 and fifth P3,000.

“Teams expected to see action are coming from Pagadian, Misamis Oriental, Cagayan de Oro, General Santos, Davao del Norte, Digos and Davao City,” said Guevarra.

The event is supported by Rep. Alberto Ungab of the Third District and the Guevarra Law Office, in coordination with the Toril Poblacion Barangay Council’s “Fiesta Saya” celebration. It is also supported by the Jarden Del Roca Mountain Resort of Toril. (Lito delos Reyes/PNA)
