Young Chess players ready for Grenada challenge

The systems are in place for the hosting of the second edition of the Chatoyer Bilateral Invitational Chess Competition between St Vincent and the Grenadines and Grenada.

Set for Friday, March 14 to Sunday March 16, 2025, at the Murray Heights Hotel Conference Room, Mc Kies Hill, the competition will feature the two countries’ six top young Chess players.

At stake in the Chatoyer trophy, the symbol of the competition which was inaugurated last year.

Then, Grenada walked off with the title, beating their Vincentian counterparts, 3-1. However, the Vincentian outfit is oozing with expectations and confidence, harbouring the thoughts of toppling the Grenadians this time.

Creating that expectation were the team’s manager and Public Relations Officer of the St Vincent and the Grenadines Chess Federation, Orisia Robinson, as well as Kazeme Pierre, the Federation’s Secretary/ Treasurer, as they spoke at a press briefing on Monday, March 3, 2025, at the office of Bruce Law Chambers Inc.

“We have seen a lot of improvements from our players over the last few months, and through training Saturday mornings and Saturday afternoons at the Cruise Ship Terminal, the improvement levels are rising”, Robinson highlighted.

Pierre added, “We have a broader cadre of young players this year. All of them have been participating in the training programme, so they should be at a respectable level”.

The names of the players to challenge the Grenadians will be known this weekend.
