Tomorrow’s important national Under-16 Chess Championship Tournament at the Marian Academy follows the inaugural tournament of the Global Chess League (GCL) in Dubai and the 50th Dortmund Chess Festival in Germany. High level chess is being played worldwide as Guyana prepares its finest entrants for the Under-16 championship.
Can the 2022 champs, Queen’s College student Kyle Couchman and St Stanislaus’s Italy Ton Chung retain their titles? This championship, organised by the Guyana Chess Federation (GCF) comes at a time when chess players are beginning to blossom into seriously mature contenders. It is possible that national champions could emerge from this group.
