Candidate Master Wendell Meusa and Attorney-at-Law Yolander Persaud won their respective divisions when the Guyana Chess Federation staged its May Open Clash of Champions tournament Sunday at the National Aquatic Center, East Coast Demerara.
Meusa ended on 5.5 points, the same as Roberto Neto after seven rounds but the Swiss Manager Chess programme determined Meusa the winner on the tie break, said tournament director Irshad Mohammed.
Meusa suffered the upset of the tournament, going down to Loris Nathoo in the sixth round in a basic king and pawn versus king endgame.
