2010 Olympiad: Round 11, Ghana 1.5 - Guernsey 2.5

In the final round of the Olympiad Ghana lost to Guernsey 1.5-2.5. Kees did not play in this round.

Anquandah, Francis Eric - Kirby, Peter J, 0-1
In the Accelerated Dragon of the Sicilian Defense, Kirby quicky struck in the centre with 8...d5 and after exchanges in the centre had the initiative.






Cummins, John - Koney, Nii, 0.5-0.5
The game was balanced after the opening with both players manoeuvring their pieces to optimum squares. Cummins gained a slight advantage from his kingside attack and won two pawns but the game was drawn on move 46.







Thompson, Edward Nii Lamp - Brookfield, Toby, 1-0
Brookfield´s bishop pseudo sacrifice for a kingside attack met with good defending from Thompson who won two pawns in the process. Thompson later sacrificed a pawn for a winning attack that ended in mate on move 44.






Rowe, Peter - Bempa Bonsu, Kwandwo Ovus, 1-0
Kojo Bonsu was down a pawn after a slight error in calculation but after winning back the pawn, he held a slight advantage. However after moving his knight to the edge of the board, it had no way back into the game.
