11th ASEAN + Age Group Chess Championships
Subic, Philippines – 4th to 13th June, 2010
Following the string of successful Asian chess championships in Subic, the
ASEAN Championships were held in Subic Freeport, Olongapo City, Philippines
from 4th to 13th June 2010. Participants competed in the U8, U10, U12, U14,
U16 and U20 age groups for girls and in the open section. In addition, seniors
(aged 50 and above) also participated.
Subic is a well known resort which has played host to many World and Asian
sports festivals. It is an ideal venue for youth events enclosed in a well guarded
enclave with a number of recreational attractions for children. Many Asian chess
championships have been successfully held in Subic which is about 2½
hours from the capital Manila, or one hour from Clark Air Base.

Slav and Semi-Slav Powerbase 2026 is a database and contains a total of 11 766 games from Mega 2026 or the Correspondence Database 2026, of which 1136 are annotated.
For the Slav and Semi-Slav Powerbook 2026 the ratings average was set again at 2400. 2.24 million games from the engine room of playchess.com met this threshold, to which were added over 130 000 games played by humans.
In this volume, we dive into core aspects of chess technique. Smyslov taught the principle of tactical hierarchy, “checks, double attacks, and unprotected pieces”, and Mikhalchishin demonstrates how this method of calculation is vital.
