The event is organized BKD Chess Club and will be conducted under the auspices of Indonesian Chess Federation. The 15-year-old Racasa, a student of Victory Christian International School, aims to raise her rating to more than 2000, to put her closer to the coveted Woman Fide Master title. "I hope to do well in this event (Indonesia) and gain some elo rating points," said Racasa, the pride of Mandaluyong City. Racasa, whose local and international tournament supported by Hotel Sogo is expected to lead the Philippine chess team in the World School Chess Championships 2023 to be held on April 13 to 23 in Rhodes, Greece.
