As the curtains came down on the 45th edition of the World Chess Olympiad in Budapest, Hungary, the Guyanese teams (open and women’s) ended their campaigns in contrasting fashion.
The open team fell 1.5-2.5 to Sierra Leone, while the women unit chalked up what was only their third win of the competition, defeating Bermuda 2.5-1.5.
Playing in the 11th and final round, the Open quartet of Candidate Master (CM) Taffin Khan, Loris Nathoo, Keron Sandiford, and Sachin Pitamber came up against Ansumana Kamara, Mansfield Winston, Brian Beckley, and Rahman Abdul.
