👏 **Jaydon Bowyer** showed resilience and skill, finishing **8th in the Under 10 Absolute category** with 5.5 points, proving himself among the region’s rising talents.

💥 **Ilyas Hosein** , National Under 8 champ, impressed in the Blitz Chess Championship, securing **3rd place in the Under 8 Absolute division**, a remarkable achievement at his first major international outing.

🙌 We also celebrate **Yuri Hosein**, National Under 12 champ, who proudly carried the Mind Warriors banner in the **Under 12 Absolute category**, gaining invaluable experience on the international stage.

Our players were guided by none other than **FM Joshua Johnson**, Head Coach of Mind Warriors Academy, who served as one of Team TTO’s two national coaches. His leadership and preparation were instrumental in helping our athletes deliver strong performances against the best in the region.

We are deeply proud of their achievements and look forward to building on this momentum as we continue to nurture champions both on and off the board.
