History unfolded yesterday when the Guyana Chess Federation named the first deaf chess player to represent the country. Her name is Anaya Lall.
Lall is set to represent the country in the girls under-10 category of the International Chess Federation’s Online World Cadets and Youth Rapid Chess Championships.
The young talent was selected based on her performance in the recent online tournaments where she finished as the best local female under-10 player in the Online Rapid tournament with a 21st place finish.
