The Guyana Chess Federation (GCF) is continuously making progress in its endeavour to promote chess by acquiring space at the School of the Nations to popularise the ancient game. The GCF, in a renewed effort, is hosting sessions at the school on Saturday mornings from 10 am to 12 noon. Students from Grade Three all the way up to Sixth Form are eligible to participate. The fee is $2,200 per month.
The School of the Nations Chess Club has students from St Stanislaus College, Georgetown International Academy, the Bishops’ High School, Mon Repos Primary, La Parfait Harmonie, Marian Academy, Mae’s School, Stella Maris and the New Guyana School ,among others. Of interest, in addition to learning chess, students will be allowed and encouraged to participate in friendly over-the-board competitions. The new Club began operations on September 17, 2022.
