Country's newest Grandmaster (GM) Daniel Quizon will spearhead a strong cast clashing in the 3rd Governor Henry S. Oaminal Open Chess Festival set Nov.4-5 at the Asenso Global Gardens, Hoyohoy, Tangub City, Misamis Occidental.

The 20-year-old Quizon looms as the player to beat in the nine-round Swiss system FIDE rapid tournament owing to his current magnificent performance.

“I am looking forward to playing in the 3rd Governor Henry S. Oaminal Open Chess Festival and hopefully, get good results," said Quizon , who broke the 2500 elo barrier during the Budapest olympiad last month to complete his GM title status.

Quizon, playing under the guidance of Dasmariñas mayor Jenny Barzaga and Coun. Kiko Barzaga, also won the 2nd Gov. Henry S. Oaminal Open Rapid Chess Tournament at the AYA Hotel and Residences in Clarin, Misamis Occidental last July 9 to 10 at the AYA Hotel and Residences in Clarin, Misamis Occidental.

Others competing in the event are IM Rico Mascarinas, IM Eric Labog jr., FM Austin Jacob Literatus, FM Victor Lluch, FM David Elorta, Sherwin Tiu, Atty. Jason Bandal and Philippine and United States chess master Almario Marlon Bernardino Jr.

No less than Hall of Famer and Asia’s First Grandmaster Eugene Torre is expected to lead the ceremonial moves along with Gov. Henry S. Oaminal, Mayor Henry Oaminal, Jr. and Rep. Sancho Fernando Oaminal.

At least P428,000 in cash prizes will be given away to the winners of the FIDE rapid rated competition, with the open champion receiving P50,000 top purse. The Top 20 players will also get consolation prizes.

Cash prizes are also at stake for the winners in the Under-13, Top U-17 , Top Misamis Occidental and the blitz chess champion.

'With nearly ₱500,000 in cash prizes and a range of exciting surprises, this event upholds the proud tradition of Misamis Occidental tournaments and promises an unforgettable experience. Delight in the presence of Asia’s first Grandmaster Eugene Torre, along with 30 Grandmasters, International Masters, FIDE Masters, and National Masters who have registered early for this prestigious FIDE-rated open tournament. Before the Open Tournament, witness an exhilarating Armageddon Blitz Battle featuring Philippine champions, along with a simultaneous exhibition by top Grandmasters and national champions' said tournament director arena online grandmaster engr. rey cris urbiztondo.
