Cebu City’s Guinness bid in chess gets boost


Cebu City’s Guinness bid in chess gets boost

Cebu City’s bid for another shot at the Guinness Book of World Records received a big boost as private schools announced their full support to break the world record for the biggest chess championships.

Cebu City Sports Commission (CCSC) chairman Edward Hayco said Cebu City has already unofficially shattered the record for the biggest tournament when 5,000 students from different public schools participated in weekly tournaments supervised by their Physical Education teachers and members of the CCSC.

The current record was held by Russia when it managed to attract 1,240 participants in a chess tournament.

Hayco said during a meeting with the school representatives at the Cebu City Sports Center that he is optimistic about breaking the record for the biggest grand finals slated January 2012.
