The 2023 seven-round National Women’s Chess Qualifiers Tournament for selection to contest the National Championship has begun at the School of the Nations, Georgetown with four of the stars of last year’s Chess Olympiad in India, Sasha Shariff, Anaya Lall, Nellisha Johnson and Jessica Callender among those in contention.
The top nine finishers will advance to the National Championships. Pooja Lam, a schoolgirl from the West Coast Demerara, who is the 2022 Women’s National Chess Champion, is not required to participate, since she has already qualified. She will hold the No. 10 spot in the Qualifiers.
