Candidate Master, Wendell Meusa has now stated he is willing to represent Guyana but was told by the Guyana Chess Federation (GCF) it is too late to reverse his decision.
Meusa, who recently won the National Chess championships, had written the GCF indicating that he was withdrawing from the Guyana team to contest the 44th Olympiad in India next month.
The GCF, acting on this information had named Ethan Lee as his replacement.
