The XV Conde Peatonal Chess Tournament will take place on Saturday, December 5, on El Conde Street in Santo Domingo. Event coordinator Aquiles Rodríguez announced that registration for the competition is free, with prizes including cash, trophies, and medals.

The tournament will feature several categories, including master, adult, youth, and children, involving participants from schools, colleges, and chess clubs. The event is endorsed by the Dominican Chess Federation.

In addition to the competition, the event will include cultural activities such as an exhibition of artisanal works by the Association of Women Artisans. Invitations have also been extended to students and alumni of the National School of Visual Arts (ENAV) and representatives from the General Directorate of Fine Arts.

Organizers noted that while a guest country was not secured for this edition due to diplomatic and coordination challenges, the invitation remains open for the XVI edition of the tournament next year.
