CEPCA to give away chess sets

THE CEBU Executives and Professional Chess Association (Cepca) will distribute several chess sets to selected elementary schools around Cebu City as part of their upcoming 25th founding anniversary this September.

Cepca president Jerry Maratas said the distribution is part of the group’s chess development program for this year. The selected elementary schools have yet to be named.

A total of 26 participants joined the event but only Felix Shaun Balbona managed to escape with a victory.
