AFTER three rounds of the Engineering and Construction Inc. (ECI) chess tournament, Candidate Master Anthony Drayton is unbeaten and as a result he is sitting pretty atop the point standings. Drayton has managed a clean sweep of his opponents with three wins from three games and at the moment is the only player to have earned the maximum number of points on offer at the National Resource Centre, Woolford Avenue where the games are being held.
In the second spot behind Drayton are Wendell Meusa and Taffin Khan, both former senior national champions, who are locked on 2.5 points, accrued from two wins and a draw each.
Other players: Obeng Quamina, Calvin Giddings, Ghansham Alijohn, Jessica Callender, John Wong and Jayden Taylor have one point each.
Unfortunately three players have yet to get off the mark, having suffered defeats in all of their games. These players are Frankie Farley, Nellisha Johnson and Shazeeda Rahim.
The final four rounds of this seven-round Swiss format tournament will culminate this weekend at the same venue.
