Though the novel coronavirus has hindered competitions, Vanessa Greenidge and Kyle Sandiford are still seeing the way forward.

For double silver medallist Greenidge, it would have been the second year competing in the Under-16 division at the ninth CARIFTA Junior Chess Championships in Guyana from April 9 to 14.

I got third in Under-14 but I missed out because I came fourth in Under-16,” she told Weekend Sport. (RG)
