Guyana’s National Women’s Chess Champion Jessica Callender has a slender lead on retaining her title after six rounds of play in the Women’s National Championship.

Callender is ahead by virtue of tiebreak  with five points in the Diamond Insurance sponsored 2024 National Women’s Chess Championship. 

Hosted at the National Racquet Centre, the  nine-round round-robin competition moved off last weekend with ten females vying for Callender’s National title.
