There are 13 upcoming FIDE-rated over-the-board tournaments across the Philippines. See all 13 tournaments.
2026 Golden Seagulls FIDE Standard Chess Tournament — Leg 1 on Saturday, November 14, 2026. Its page has the schedule, venue and organizer contacts.
A FIDE-rated tournament is registered with FIDE, the International Chess Federation, so its games count toward your international rating. FIDE keeps separate ratings for standard, rapid and blitz, and an event only affects the rating for the format it is played in.
Your results are reported to FIDE under your FIDE ID. If you don't have one yet, ask the organizer before you register: requirements differ per event, and each tournament page lists the organizer's contacts.
1 of the 13 tournaments takes registration and payment on ChessNam, so look for the Register button on the tournament page. For the others, register directly with the organizer using the steps and contacts on the tournament page. Walk-ins on the day are common.
