This tournament reflects one of NUCFP’s founding principles: 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐎𝐍𝐄.
And the excitement does not end there.
As a side event, the 𝐍𝐔𝐂𝐅𝐏 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐁 𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐃 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 will also follow, with major prizes at stake. This companion event is expected to add even more excitement to the festival of chess and give clubs another major platform to compete, represent their teams, and fight for top honors.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐄𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐄𝐗𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐒𝐒 — 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐈𝐓.
