Both local and foreign chess players, who may be visiting Guyana for Carifesta, are invited to participate in the tournament.

The first four rounds would be played this Sunday (August 31) and the remaining four rounds would be played the following Sunday. Chess Players are ask to bring along their chess set and clock.
