The Jersey International Masters Chess Tournament, which is the first of its kind to be held in the Island, features more than 60 players from around the globe including entries from as far as Bangladesh, India and Ukraine.
Six grandmasters, which is the highest title available in chess, are taking part – including one former world top-ten player, Michal Krasenkow, of Poland.
There are also a number of Channel Islanders competing in the contest, which is being held at the Hotel Ambassadeur in St Clement and is open to the public. It continues until Sunday.
