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.
