Cagayan de Oro to host Shell chess elims

The Shell National Youth Active Chess Championships (SNYACC) swings to Mindanao this month with a huge turnout expected in the Northern Mindanao qualifying leg at SM City in Cagayan de Oro.

Organizers of the country’s longest running talent search brace for another banner field in the third leg of the five-stage regional elims on August 12 to 13, the region being one of the hotbeds of the sport in its more than two decades of staging.
