Have you ever imagined Philippine chess without the role of inter-school/college/university chess tournaments?
Academics institutions – for sure – have chess development programs for their players through their coaches and teams. They provide for chess skills development and financial requirements of their prized board warriors.
Indeed, the National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP) must be thankful of the role of academic institutions in propelling chess development in the country.
Or, if I may rephrase this statement: the NCFP should take academic institutions as its role models for effective and sustainable chess development program for the Filipino youth.
By the way, the 86th NCAA chess tourney kicked off last Saturday (July 24). Opening ceremonies and Round 1 matches were held at the Cyberzone of SM Manila.
