Swiss system blitz on at Port Mourant today

“One person with a belief is equal to a force of ninety-nine who have only an interest.”-   John Stuart Mill (1806—-1873)  Philosopher, political economist.

National chess champion Kriskal Persaud (right) from Rose Hall, Berbice, battles Dennis Dillon from Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo, for supremacy over the chessboard during last month’s Kei Shar’s  sponsored tournament. Both Kriskal and Dennis are participants in today’s blitz tournament in Port Mourant.We have come to the time for ambition. Momentum is now largely on our side, and it becomes vital that we use this unexpected windfall to accelerate the promotion of chess in education, and simultaneously, multiply our membership in the Guyana Chess Federation.

Our singular task, one which is distinguished by priority, is to win friends and influence people. Today, we are having an open seven-round Swiss system blitz tournament at the Port Mourant Community High School, and we are optimistic that we would be leaving Berbice with some new members for our federation.
