What to expect
Tournament 1.0 · Rovers Coffee The weekly ritual
The Saturday session is the club's front door: a table in the mall, a clock, and whoever wants to play. Some come to prepare for the next tournament; others come to learn the moves. Everyone starts somewhere.
Your first Saturday
Here's a simple way to start.
01 / Show up
The mall session runs at Robinsons La Union from 10 AM to 2 PM. The morning session runs at Rovers Coffee from 10 AM to noon. Both start at 10.
02 / Say hello
Look for the chess boards and introduce yourself. Ask for a game and see who's ready to play.
03 / Play
Shake hands, set the clock if there is one, and play. New to timed chess? Tell your opponent before the clock starts.
Stay in the loop
Chess United runs a Messenger group called CHESS UNITED – REGION 1 NETWORK. It is the club's community channel for schedules, questions and updates.

Practical questions
The short answers. For anything specific to a date or a division, the group is the source of truth.
Two places, both every Saturday: Robinsons Mall La Union from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, and Rovers Coffee from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon.
No. The weekly sessions are not something you register for on this site. Come to Robinsons Mall La Union between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, or to Rovers Coffee between 10:00 AM and 12:00 noon. If you want to check ahead, ask in the club's Messenger group.
Yes. The club's tagline is "chess for everyone." The weekly session is for kids, teens and adults, whether you are learning the moves or playing tournament chess.
Kids, teens and adults. Tournament days split into a Kiddies Division (12 and below) and an Open Division (13 and above).
Just yourself. If you have a chess board or clock, bring it along; if not, come and watch a few games first.
The weekly poster does not list a session fee. Tournament entry fees are published on each event on the Events page.

Enter online from the Events page: pick your tournament and division, scan the club's GCash QR on that event's poster, pay the entry fee, then paste the 13-digit reference number. A club officer matches every reference by hand before your slot is confirmed.
Tournament 1.0 photos show parents and spectators around the tables, and the weekly session happens in a public mall. For a specific event, ask in the group before you travel.
