Sorry to bump this old thread again, but Forum contributor John Saunders has a piece about chess in Guyana in his revived BCM blog. Hopefully this is a sign things are looking up for chess there once more. Rejoining FIDE soon? :)

As I recall, third world countries are exempt from FIDE affiliation fees. Finding a representative willing to travel may be more of a hurdle.

I much prefer threads to be bumped, rather than reinvented.
