Episode Details

Guyana’s chess duo Anthony Drayton and Taffin Khan battled hard at the Central American and Caribbean Games, finishing with four points apiece and a solid 13th place out of 16 teams. After early setbacks against Panama and Barbados, they rallied with a commanding 2-0 win over Puerto Rico and capped their run with a crucial draw against eventual champions Colombia—thanks to Khan’s victory over a Colombian International Master. Though they fell short of medal contention, both players gained valuable rating points against top-tier opponents, with Khan’s late-game resilience and Drayton’s gritty performances standing out. Colombia took gold, Cuba and Venezuela followed, but Guyana’s grit and growth shone through.
