Four crowns are up for grabs in the 1st Doc Eric Cup Open Chess Tournament that takes centerstage Saturday at the Talisay City Gymnasium in Negros Occidental.

The three-day competitions, which are part of Talisay's 9th Charter Day celebration, will adopt a seven-round Swiss system with the cheesers battling for the titles in the open, women, 18-Under and 13-Under divisions.

Organizing committee member Jesse Sanchez yesterday said that the tournament will only be limited to 200 participants on a first-come, first-serve basis. The top three woodpushers of each category will be given trophies and cash prizes, Sanchez said, adding that the competitors are requested to bring their own chess set and clock.
