ANG pinakahihintay na 1st Ahedres Pilipinas Chess Team Tournament ay isinagawa sa third floor Alphaland Southgate Mall kahapon mula sa orihinal na venue sa Dapitan, Manila, ayon sa orgabizers.

“Due to the 2019 Election, Dapitan Sports Complex will not be able to accommodate us on the day of the event. Comelec will be using the venue on May 12, 2019. As much as we wanted to keep the original plan, there is nothing we can do. Dapitan Sports Complex is a government-property and the government reserves all the rights to use the space in any given situation. We were informed three days prior to the date of the event. We understand the frustration and we sincerely do apologize for the very short notice and the inconvenience this may have caused. That being said, we will be holding the 1st Ahedres Pilipinas Chess Team Tournament in the Alphaland Southgate Mall, 3rd Floor, Magallanes (2258 Chino Roces Ave, Makati, Metro Manila, Philippines). Please kindly do spread the word. We hope to see you there and thank you for all your support to make this happen. Special thanks to Sir Alexander E. Dinoy for helping us find a new location given the time constraints,” pahayag ng Ahedres Pilipinas Team nina dating World Chess Olympiad member Woman National Master Christy Lamiel Bernales, National Master Marc Christian Nazario at Christian Anthony Flores.
