NM Elliott dominates Jamaican Championship with a 9-0 blitz!

Jamaica

NM Warren Elliott has successfully defended his crown and has sent a clear message to Jamaican players. NM Elliott scored an unprecedented 9-0 by toppling the nation's #1 player in NM Shane Matthews. Despite the absence of several strong players in this championship, NM Warren Elliott is now the "King of Jamaican Chess." A 9-0 score is remarkable and by examining his games, it may not have mattered who played. Keisha Ramator dominated the women's competition with 7½ points. Ramon Jackson took the President's Cup with 6 and Dominic Lobban topped the Cadet (U14) field with 5½. More details available below at the links below!
