Held at John Gray High School, the event pitted Cayman competitors against rivals from Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and St Kitts and Nevis. This hybrid format allowed participants to battle international opponents in real-time without leaving home, effectively bridging the gap between local training and high-level competition. For the Cayman Islands Chess Federation, these digital tournaments serve as a critical development engine, offering exposure to diverse tactical styles while bypassing the prohibitive costs of international travel. Clark’s performance stands as the highlight of the team's effort before the CARIFTA Hybrid Chess Championships, which take place from 11 to 12 July.
