Chess, not cricket, at National Stadium today

The fourth in a series of six chess tournaments sponsored by GAICO Construction will take place from today at the National Stadium, a release from the Guyana Chess Federation (GCF) stated yesterday.

“It’s chess, known to many as the gymnasium of the mind, instead of cricket at the National Stadium this weekend,” stated the release which added that all chess players are invited to the fourth GAICO Construction Grand Prix chess tournament at the Providence venue from 2:30PM (14:30hrs).

“The intense battles over the chess board will resume once again as seasoned chess players compete to accumulate Grand Prix points to make the Guyana team for the 2020 Chess Olympiad in Russia.
