  1. Here’s a nice article from Jamaica promoting chess as a means to stem the tide of violence. Jamaica Chess Federation President Ian Wilkinson was quoted,

    If we get chess going fully into the schools and incorporated into society, we will reduce crime and violence significantly. The violence that we are experiencing now, the criminal behaviour being demonstrated by the youngsters … once we get into their minds and teach them chess, we will be creating a totally different society because the intellectual capital of our country will go up tremendously.

  4. The idea that all entrants must be paid up members of Jamaican Chess Federation kinda ruins the event as an Open tournament.
