Team Bahamas edged past Tanzania in round 8 to score its second match win of the Olympiad. Finishing first was board 3's Kendrick Knowles who grabbed the advantage on move 27 and never looked back. Carver, meanwhile, kept the team on edge as he faced a vicious attack on his king that left him down material. Thankfully, his opponent struggled to find the winning moves and instead lost material of his own to give Carver the advantage for good. Elton sealed the match win by grinding out a draw against arguably Tanzania's toughest player, Geoffrey Mwanyika--rated 1922.
Well done, Team Bahamas! With three matches to go, let's see how many more victims can fall :)
