The Guyana Chess Federation (GCF) is tightening its grip on selecting players for the biennial Chess Olympiad with the idea of attracting the crème de la crème of local exponents of the game. The method of selection entails a points accumulation system. The more points you receive on completion of the Grand Prix process, the more chances you have of making the cut. Simply put, the persons with the highest number of points during the selection process would be invited to represent Guyana at the Olympiad.
