(Guyana Chess Federation ) After a setback in round 2 where the Open and Female teams were unable to add to their overall score, the Guyana Chess Teams overcame Seychelles and Hong Kong to register their first match wins at the 44th Olympiad in Chennai, India.
In the Open section, Taffin Khan and Ethan Lee scored wins for the Guyana side with Roberto Neto earning the half point from his drawn game to place the Open Team as the overall winners of their round 3 matches. Unfortunately, FM Anthony Drayton was unable to score against FM Andre Stratonowitsch. Drayton’s game was seemingly heading to yet another victory or at least a draw, when a miscalculation on move 62, giving up a bishop for a pawn in the end game, sealed his fate and secured the win for his opponent.
