The National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP) will choose a swiss system format eliminations tournament to select the team that will represent the country at the Asian Games in Doha later this year. In response, RP's 3 top grandmasters are not very happy.
Mark Paragua, Joey Antonio and Eugene Torre asked the national body to reconsider via a letter to fed boss Congressman Prospero Pichay: "There are other ways and criteria to best select our representatives in important international events as practiced by other countries...The Swiss System is definitely not one of them."
More from the Manila Bulletin.
