Junior chess is becoming more pronounced in Guyana with the hosting of a fair number of tournaments recently. Last week Moo Milk sponsored the qualifiers for the National Junior Championship and Queen’s College student Kyle Couchman won.
Nine players qualified to compete in the National Junior Championship, which will begin shortly. The players will be joined by the 2023 National Junior Champion Keron Sandiford making the figure a round ten.
It will be interesting to observe whether Couchman can take down Sandiford, the likes of Sachin Pitamber, Ricardo Narine, Aditi Joshi, Alexander Zhang, and others and win the championship.
