## Resource

Joshua Gopaul, a former junior chess champ, crushed it at Game Fest 2026, winning first place in three Bullet Chess tournaments with lightning-fast precision. The high-energy, two-minute-per-player format drew top talent, including Keron Sandiford, Jessica Callender, and Anthony Drayton, who also claimed top honors. With a $50,000 prize pool per event and cash for top five finishers plus special awards for women and newcomers, the tournaments celebrated chess as a thrilling, accessible sport — drawing both veterans and beginners in a vibrant, competitive atmosphere. Gopaul’s stellar performance earned him $30,000, while smooth execution by arbiters and strong support from the Guyana Chess Federation and Game Fest organizers made the event a resounding success.
