🇵🇭 CALL FOR SUPPORT – HELP TEAM BATAAN REACH THE NATIONAL STAGE ♟️

Our young chess players from Bataan have earned the opportunity to compete in the Philippine National Children and Youth Chess Championship to be held in Alicia, Isabela from August 30 to September 5, 2026.

These talented boys and girls will proudly represent our province, but many of them need financial assistance to cover their transportation, accommodation, meals, and other tournament expenses.

We are humbly seeking the support of kind-hearted individuals, businesses, organizations, and chess enthusiasts who would like to help make their dreams possible. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will go a long way in helping our players compete with confidence and bring honor to Bataan.

If you would like to become a sponsor or extend any form of assistance, please send us a message. We will gladly acknowledge all sponsors (unless anonymity is preferred).

Let's work together to give our young chess talents the opportunity they deserve.

Your support today could help shape the next National Master, FIDE Master, or even Grandmaster from Bataan.

Thank you for believing in our young champions! ❤️♟️

Warmest Congratulations to the BPSU Chess Varsity Players Graduates of 2026!

On behalf of the Bataan Chess Community, we extend our heartiest congratulations and deepest appreciation to our Bataan Peninsula State University (BPSU) Chess Varsity players!

Representing our beloved province on the board is no small feat. It takes discipline, sharp tactical vision, and immense composure under pressure. You have shown true sportsmanship and grit, proving that the intellect and spirit of Bataan run deep.

What makes your journey even more inspiring is seeing how each of you balances the mental demands of competitive chess with your academic pursuits. Coming from different areas of specialization—spanning engineering, education, business, technology, and various other disciplines—you prove that excellence isn't confined to a single field. You represent the finest young professionals our province has to offer: analytical thinkers in your studies, and master strategists on the 64 squares.

Thank you for bringing honor to BPSU and making the entire Bataan Chess Community immensely proud. May this experience serve as a stepping stone to even greater grandmaster-level triumphs in both your academic careers and your chess journeys.

Keep making those winning moves!

Mabuhay ang BPSU Varsity Players! Mabuhay ang Bataan Chess Community!
