Chess king: Mosutha needs money to travel to Budapest

National chess champion, Candidate Master (CM) Thuso Mosutha is racing against time to raise P46,000 that would enable him to travel to Budapest, Hungary where he has been invited to play in three tournaments in December. 

Mosutha said the three tournaments are part of the First Saturday monthly chess tournaments. The first set of games will run from December 4-14, 2021, followed by another set from December 15-23, 2021 with the last round of action set for December 26, 2021 until January 5, 2022. Every month starting on the first Saturday, several international chess tournaments are organised in Budapest.

“The tournament provides aspiring players with an opportunity to test their skills on the chessboard and improve ELO rating. The ELO rating system measures the relative strength of a player in some games, such as chess, compared to other players,” the invitation to Mosutha reads.
