"I hope to do well in this event," said Antonio, who is also scheduled to conduct 10 board chess simultaneous exhibition on Saturday, December 4 at Barangay Kamuning Barangay Hall in Quezon City.
According to Chess Movement, Inc. chairman (CPA) Dr. Ariel Potot, the round-robin FIDE-rated tournament will be held face-to-face with the winner earning the right to represent the country in the Asian Indoor Martial Arts Games set in 2023 in Thailand.

RiChessMasters, the organizing team behind this major over-the-board woodpushing tournament is also set to stage simultaneously the 1st Mactan Open: Barkadahan Para sa Bansa Championship.
The tournament is expected to draw some of the country’s best woodpushers that will vie for the P50,000 champion’s purse.

The top 10 woodpushers won’t go home empty handed as they will all receive cash prizes as well.
