(295) HERNANDEZ AVERTED A SHUTOUT; WINS AT BOARD 1 IN FINAL ROUND

DEJA VU
The final round of the 2012 World Chess Olympiad in Istanbul, Turkey is like what happened to Joselito Marcos in 2002 Olympiad as he also averted the shutout loss to Suriname by scoring the lone point at board 4. This time Roberto Hernandez, left, defeated Paul Rossini at board 1. Board 2 and 4 Manuel couple bowed to their counterparts while board 3 Bernard Garcia missed the right continuation after he brilliantly sacrificed a queen and a knight against a CM player.
