The third division will feature senior players 17 to 20 years old (born between 1995 to 1998). These changes make the staging of this year’s Shell Active Chess tournament a highly anticipated one in terms of participation, with maximum entries expected to mark each of the five qualifying stages leading to the national finals in September. As Shell continues to invest in building a sustainable energy future, the nationwide chess program is one of our innovative methods in developing the potential of the Filipino youths. The Shell Active Chess competition continues with its legacy of mining the freshest Filipino talent in the sport, as part of the energy and gas technology company’s commitment to social development in various areas such as youth, education, health, road safety, environmental conservation and many others. “We continue to discover new talents with the ever-growing number of players now taking up the sport, and because Shell believes in empowering the youth by giving them the opportunity to hone their skills and be the best they can, we continue to innovate our tournament program to produce more competitive, top caliber athletes that will someday be our national pride,” said Shell social investment manager Jackie Ampil. For this year’s event, organisers have set a maximum number of 400 participants for the National Capital Region (NCR) and the Southern Luzon legs, while the Visayas, Southern Mindanao and the Northern Mindanao eliminations stages will be limited to the first 300 registrants.
