Jamaica's Ian Wilkinson (right) was the subject of an interesting interview by the Trinidadian Guardian and revealed his plan for helping the Caribbean region emerge as a hotbed of chess enthusiasm. There was mention of rejuvenating the Caribbean Open and the proposition of collaborative efforts between the English-speaking largest federations… Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago.
The rest of the interview focused on the Jamaican chess climate and its participation in international competitions. Wilkinson laid out comprehensive plan which includes attracting more female players, instituting a chess league, infusing chess into the school curriculum island-wide and holding international tournaments. Jamaica has been buzzing lately about what the island can do to ignite an indelible chess spirit in the region. The debate must continue!
