Candidate Master (CM) Ronuel Greenidge remained undefeated in rounds seven and eight to win the Guyana Chess Federation’s (GCF) Malta Supreme Grand Prix.

When play continued yesterday at the David Rose Special School in Thomas Lands, Greenidge faced Alexander Zhang, and the duo engaged in a gripping seventh-round battle that ended in a draw after time had expired.

However, in the eighth round, Greenidge sealed the deal with a victory over another Zhang, this time younger sibling Nicholas, to end the tournament undefeated and become the undisputed winner of the GCF’s fourth Grand Prix. In his eight games, Greenidge secured 6.5 points.
