Yes they have chess even here.

I'm from New York originally (was back there for last week and played some chess in various parks & at the Chess Forum downtown). I'm working in Utah for the summer but I'll probably head back to Santa Cruz, CA (where I lived for awhile before) this fall. They have a decent sized free chess tourny every Thursday night at a Borders' Books there.

How about you?

hi guys..

im from the philippines specifically from Davao City. i guess im the first filipino here? haha

chess is not really a big 'thing' or 'stuff' here in our city. i dont even know if thre's a chess club that exist in davao. haha.. there are few chess plazas in here though and there are lots of good players too. there are only few chess aficionados in our university considering that our university is one of the finest in our country. maybe the people here are just apathetic bout chess. or maybe they think of it as a boring game and it just wastes their time.

these are just some updates bout chess in this side of the world.
