Khemraj Pooranmall continued his dominance of local draughts when he won his second crown as the Guyana Draughts Association brought an end to its national championships last Sunday in the compound of the National Gymnasium.

He had earlier won the `A’ Class title in a close finish, and in another close finish Sunday, Pooranmall defeated Mark Brathwaite in a thrilling encounter to move to 10 points and successfully defend his 100 squares title.
