The team got off to a rough start on Day 2, as both Sandeep and Philip lost their round three matches.  Having been awarded a bye, Chaz was the only one to escape the morning session with a point.  Then came the afternoon round, and like yesterday, the players rebounded.  Chaz earned a full point against his Jamaican opponent; Sandeep and his opponent agreed to a draw; and Philip fought through another long game to win against Barbados.

The points for Team Bahamas going into the fifth round of seven are:

Philip Hanna - 2.0
Sandeep Gali - 2.0
Chaz Garraway - 2.0

Team Bahamas got off to a slow start on Day 1 with no wins in the first round.  Sandeep Gali did secure a half point, however, after agreeing to a draw in a position that leaned slightly in his favor.

Things soon turned around, as the players gained their composure in the second round.  Gali scored a full point with a checkmate on move 35, and Philip Hanna's opponent, faced with an imminent mate in their three-hour marathon battle, resigned.

The scores after two rounds are:

Sandeep Gali - 1.5
Philip Hanna - 1.0
Chaz Garraway - 0.0

Play resumes Saturday at 9:00 am Jamaica time (10:00 am Bahamas time) with rounds three and four scheduled.
