Episode Details

Guyana’s young chess stars just returned from the Pan American Youth Chess Festival in Colombia, where nearly a thousand players from 30 countries battled for glory across age groups. Kyle Couchman, the National Junior Champ, shone brightest in U-18 Absolute, scoring five out of nine rounds and climbing rankings despite tough Colombian opponents. Aditi Joshi and the National Women’s Champion earned 4.5 points in U-16 Girls, while Abel Fernandez Ciria and Aiden Tinnie both scored four in their respective U-14 and U-12 divisions. The team’s international experience—and boosted ELOs for some—marks a major leap forward. Huge thanks to coach, delegation leaders, and parents who made this possible; this exposure is vital for nurturing Guyana’s next generation of chess champions.
