DDL Topco Juice one-day Junior Chess tourney on tomorrow
The first of six Junior Chess tournaments planned by the Guyana Chess Federation (GCF) and sponsored by DDL Topco Juice gets underway tomorrow at the National Aquatic Centre, Liliendaal. Registration which is free starts at 09:00hrs.
Chess action returns to the National Aquatic Center tomorrow for the Topco Juice one-day Junior tourney.
The GCF successfully clinched a renewed sponsorship package earlier this week with beverage giant Demerara Distillers Ltd. (DDL) manufacturer of Topco Juice and they have committed a total of $320,000 to the chess body to cover prizes for the six competitions. Sharda Veeren-Chand, DDL’s Marketing Director, was pleased to disclose the approval of the sponsorship.
GCF President Frankie Farley thanked DDL for its involvement and the important role of the company in the development of local chess saying, “Your generous contribution will be instrumental in making our vision a reality by helping to offset part of the costs associated with the implementation of the various planned initiatives,” Mr. Farley asserted.
Tomorrow’s one-day tournament consists of 12 rounds. Each player will be allotted 10 minutes plus 5 seconds increment per round. Interested players can contact Rashad on 658 3004, Davion on 656 4032 or Anthony on 613 2083 for more information.
