Entrance into this elite tournament is made possible due to the online nature of the event which was introduced in 2019 due to the pandemic. The Guyana Chess Federation (GCF) has been able to enter 22 players in this years tournament. The players were drawn from its chess in schools programme which is funded in part by FIDE.

The implementation of an expert trainer in International Master Atanu Lihari has already yielded favorable results in this years tournament with victories over several FIDE rated players which is the stepping stone to create a pool of rated young players in Guyana.
