## Resource

The Barbados National Open Chess Championship is heating up at the halfway mark, with Lawrence Depradine and defending champ Martyn Del Castilho tied for first at 3.5 points—Depradine still has a game in hand. Just half a point behind are Justin Kitron, Dr. Philip Corbin, and junior prodigy Jeremiah Farley, who stunned Del Castilho in round two. The final rounds promise a nail-biter as every point matters. Meanwhile, the VEXX tournament is also fierce: Mileke Sinckler and Loki Clarke lead FIDE-rated play at four points, while Benjamin Farmer dominates the Novice section with four points after four rounds.
