CoinEx Sponsors the National Chess Championship in the Philippines

Over 500 Chess Players Participated in the National Chess Championship Sponsored by CoinEx

CoinEx proudly sponsored the National Age Group Chess Championship 2025, held at the FPJ Arena in San Jose, Batangas, Philippines. The event, which ran from March 13 to March 16, brought together over 1,000 participants, including chess enthusiasts, government officials, university coaches, and parents. This tournament highlights CoinEx’s commitment to supporting education, sports, and technology while bridging the worlds of crypto and chess.

Chess, much like cryptocurrency, is a game of strategy, foresight, and discipline. Both require players to think critically, plan ahead, and adapt to changing circumstances. By sponsoring this championship, CoinEx not only celebrated the intellectual rigor of chess but also drew parallels between the strategic thinking needed in chess and the innovative mindset required in the crypto space.

The event was graced by notable figures, including Mayor Valentino Patron of San Jose Batangas, Asia’s first Grand Master Eugene Torre, Rovin Phan of Anichess Crypto Game, and officers from the National Chess Federation of the Philippines. Their presence emphasized the importance of chess in developing young minds and fostering discipline.

Grand Master Eugene Torre highlighted the significance of such tournaments, stating that chess helps sharpen strategic thinking and builds focus. The competition was intense, with Jersey Marticio winning the Blitz and Rapid Category under 18. Winners received cash prizes, trophies, and medals, along with the opportunity to represent the Philippines at the Asia-Wide Chess Championship in Thailand.
