A day filled with intense battles, learning moments, and camaraderie among fellow chess enthusiasts. Every move on the board was a test of patience and strategy, reminding us that growth comes not only from victories but also from challenges faced over the 64 squares.

Congratulations to all winners & participants from different provinces as well as organizers for a well-run tournament that continues to promote chess in Pangasinan. Looking forward to more tournaments ahead! ♟️🔥 ♟️🔥

📌VENUE CHANGE NOTICE

The venue for tomorrow’s “2nd Mayor’s Cup Non-Master Open Chess Tournament” has been moved to the STAC Building, (beside Presidencia) due to a memorandum from PANELCO regarding a scheduled power interruption in the entire municipality of Rosales.

Rest assured, the new venue is fully air-conditioned, as power will be supplied by a generator.

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing everyone at the tournament! ♟️
