The SXM Chess Club organised an FFE-approved tournament last Sunday at Koho in Grand Case. 

In the adult category, Washington Avalon won the tournament, while in the junior category, 13-year-old Léon Lubrani took home the cup. It should be noted that this tournament, consisting of seven rounds of 10 minutes + 10 seconds per move, was classified as FIDE international level, with the participation of five international players from the Dominican Republic, the Netherlands, Argentina and India.

The club's next tournament is scheduled for 1 March, with the participation of Thomas Pasquier, a FIDE master visiting the area.
