Senior National Chess Champion, Taffin Khan drew his game in the seventh sitting against Ron Motilall and eventually amassed 6 ½ points to take the honours in the senior category when action in the Guyana Chess Federation (GCF) MALTA SUPREME One-Day Rapid Chess Tournament concluded at the UG Tain campus, Corentyne, Sunday April 7 last.
Motilall also performed credibly and scored 4 ½ points to take the top honours in the junior category ahead of Saeed Ali, also with 4 ½ points but losing out on the tie system.
National Junior Champion Anthony Drayton opted to compete among the seniors and finished just behind Khan, while former national senior champion, Kriskal Persaud closed off the podium spot in this category.
Otherwise the Georgetown contingent carted off the lion’s share of the prizes including Saeed Ali of Richard Ishmael Secondary (2nd) and Roberto Neto of Diamond Secondary (3rd). Omar Britton Grant of Bishop’s High was adjudged the Best Under-16 Player, while Joshua Seepersaud was adjudged the Best Junior Player out of Berbice.
The other point standings read: Anthony Drayton (5 ½) Kriskal Persaud (5), Ron Motilall and Saeed Ali (4 ½ each), Roberto Neto, Joshua Seepersaud and Omar Britton Grant (4 each). The cash prizes and trophies were presented by Banks DIH representative Mr. Fawaz Harry. The event attracted twenty-four chess players.
Banks DIH had unselfishly donated over $100,000, the largest by any singular sponsor to date. The executives of the GCF wish to extend sincerest gratitude to their benefactor as well as administrator of the Tain Campus for making the competition possible.
