| It's hometown favorite Allan Pason versus Peterson Sia |
According to a friend of mine, there is another Mactan chess tournament
coming, on the 2nd week of September. And I am very impressed, by what our Mactan comrades have done, to create monthly chess tournaments in our city. Such meteoric rise of back-to-back tournaments have never been heard of, since the dawn of Mactan chess. To tell you frankly, I've never expected such a thing coming from Mactan. The players here, are practically busy finding food, and paying their bills. They simply do not have time and money to organize chess tournaments. But thanks to the affectionate support of our zealous comrades, the tournaments will go on. Long live! :)
Sometimes I feel that there are some other Mactan chessers out there who think, that they haven't contributed anything, to support the existence of chess tournaments, in our city. But I tell them this: that 20 pesos you paid to register in the tourney, no matter how small, actually shows, that you are supporting Mactan chess.
And finally, I hope that the tournaments in Mactan have not only attracted regular patrons of our chess club, but also newcomers. Aron hybrid na pud. I have seen new faces though, from shared photos at Facebook.
