The 2010 National Inter-Cities & Municipalities Rapid Chess Tournament - the grand finale of the National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP) for its list of activities for 2010 - was held and concluded without much media hype and promotion.
It was a huge event, which I even deemed among, if not the most, major events the NCFP organized for the year. Yet the only thing the NCFP could do was to post the game results. The chess community wanted more, like posting the highlights of featured games and photos.
Am I too demanding? Probably yes. But all of us should be.
Just imagine the number of teams that participated. There were 43 of them, with at least four players in each team!
I congratulate the City of Dagupan for hosting such an event, which could have made an impact on the economic and tourism promotions of the city considering that the players came from different parts of the country. Well done, Dagupan! Well done!
As for the NCFP, as I said, they could have exerted more efforts to bring the tournament to the global chess community. They should maximize the use of their official website which they often "upgrade" for the supposedly"improved service" to the chess community.
