The Asian Juniors and Girls Chess Championships will be held on November 17 to 26 at the Knights Templar Hotel in Tagaytay City. This was announced by Mayor Abraham N.

The event is open to players 20 years old and below. Invited are 52 member nations of the Asian Chess Federation. Expected favourites are junior players from India, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Iran, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and other neighbouring countries. The tournaments will be 9-round Swiss systems in separate divisions for juniors and girls.

Tournament venue is the Knights Templar Hotel.

The Asian Juniors and Girls Rapid Chess and Blitz Chess Championships shall be held concurrently.

The Asian Junior champion shall earn the Grandmaster norm while the Asian Girls champion shall earn the Women’s Grandmaster norm. The International Master (IM) and Woman International Master (WIM) titles shall also be conferred on the champions. IM and WIM norms shall go to the silver and bronze medalists. The FIDE Master and FIDE Woman Master titles shall be conferred on them. The Asian junior and girl champions will earn the personal right to participate in next year’s World Juniors and Girls Chess Championship.

The event is organized by the National Chess Federation of the Philippines in cooperation with the Philippine Sports Commission and City of Tagaytay under the auspices of the Asian Chess Federation and FIDE.

“This international event provides the opportunity for Filipino chess players to earn the coveted Grandmaster norm and International Master title,” Tolentino said.

FIDE Master Alekhine Nouri, 16, and Mhage Sebastian, 16, are the reigning Philippine national junior and girls champions, respectively. The pair are competing in the World Juniors and Girls Chess Championships in Sardinia, Italy.
