Zest for more tournaments

We are really overwhelmed by requests from a lot of individuals, especially kids, for another chess competition after the successful staging of the 1st Malibay Chess Club Mini-Chess Tournament.

Our own members, friends, supporters and other chess enthusiasts clamor for more - and they want it as soon as possible. As one 7-year old kid (with sparkling interest and hunger for games in his eyes) said, he wanted our club to hold a tournament every week. Haha, how I love to see his innocent eyes. Every week? Only if we have the needed resources, then why not.

You see, all that our club possesses is one chess clock, one chess set, and two tables. Just imagine how we were able to successfully stage our first chess tournament! Almost everything was borrowed - for free.

Only if we have the resources. Only if we have the resources. Only if we have the resources.

How I wish for a time to come when I could already respond to that 7-year old kid who asked me for a tournament every week, "Ok, boy, always come here on Saturdays. Play. Have fun. Learn. Grow. Be the best that you can be. Be the youngest grandmaster of the world!"
