THE 2013 Marikina Riverpark Active Chess Tournament (1950 and below standard rating) gets underway on Saturday, May 11 at the Senior Citizens Area, Riverpark, Marikina City.

No less than Asia's First Grandmaster Eugene Torre will be the guest of honor when the hostilities start at 9:30 a.m. The event will feature 1950 and below standard rating and it will apply the time control of 25 minutes per player. Torre, the founding president of the National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP), is expected to encourage participants in the grassroots competition to continue to play chess and even share his secrets for his rise as one of the world’s top players during his time.
