2010 Olympiad: Round 10, Ghana and Haiti share points

Ghana and Haiti both won two games each to tie at 2-2. Nii Koney and Anquandah won their games.

Sanon, Mondoly - Anquandah, Francis Eric, 0-1
After opposite side castling, both places set their pawns rolling towards the opposite king. But it was Anquandah´s attack that looked more threatening. After a lot of manoeuvring by both players, Anquandah won a knight by taking advantage of Sanon´s weakened back rank.






Koney, Nii - Luxama, Jacques, 1-0
After the opening, Nii had good control of the centre and had a kingside attack going. Luxama couldn´t stop the attack as Nii brought all his pieces to join the attack.






Lebrun, Piersont - Thompson, Edward Nii Lamp, 1-0
Thompson had a bad position after his fianchettoed bishop was exchanged off. Lebrun took advantage of the weakness around Thompson´s king.






Bempa Bonsu, Kwandwo Ovus - Bazil, Joslin , 0-1
With a closed centre, Kojo attacked on the kingside but his attack was halted. Basil had the better placed pieces and a well advanced pawn chain. Kojo blundered on move 40, losing his queen.






In the last round, Ghana will play Guernsey.
