Following a three-year hiatus, the increasingly popular Grand Prix face-to-face chess tournaments are back. Seasoned contenders, juniors who are aiming to demonstrate their prowess on the chess board and beginners who learned the game in school, will all be battling for recognition. The top finishers in this Grand Prix series will move a step closer toward representing Guyana internationally at the 2022 FIDE Chess Olympiad.
Each Grand Prix series consists of four tournaments. Points will be awarded after each tournament. Strong favourites to win the Grand Prix series are Taffin Khan, Wendell Meusa, Loris Nathoo, Ronuel Greenidge and Anthony Drayton. Irshad Mohamed plays a strong, five-minute blitz game but we are yet to see how he would fare in the classical event. Davion Mars is also an unpredictable contender.
