The organizers said that only players younger than 20 years are eligible for participation in the seven rounds tournament. Registration begins at 9:00hrs and the competition commences one hour later.
Meanwhile, DDL Sales Manager, Alexis Langhorne visited the tournament venue and handed over the sponsorship cheque to President of the Guyana Chess Federation, Shiv Nandalall, even as she reaffirmed her company’s support to the development of chess. Ms Langhorne pointed out that her company is very pleased with the operations of the GCF and said that executives of her firm were delighted to partner with the organizers towards the development of the sport.
Mr. Nandalall expressed delight at DDL’s corporate intervention saying that the input would go a far way in the efforts of his officials in the continued development of the game.
Four rounds will be contested today while the final three rounds would be played next Sunday, September 23.
The tournament fee is $600 for non-members of the GCF, while members will pay a reduced fee of $200 each.
