Looks like a disappointing day for the team, though. It looked like they were going to win 3-1 at one point, but board three blundered a whole rook in a winning position, and boards two and four are getting ground down. 1-3 looks the likely result now.
But Jim Mctigue is on the scoreboard!
Here's the game.
Update: The US Virgin Island team lost 1.5 to 2.5. The Liechtenstein Board Four took a draw to win the match. Not sure if he saw that he could play for a win or not. It was probably trickier sitting at the board to see the right moves than it was sitting at home with an analysis engine running! Still, "our" team is finally getting board points. Hopefully match points will follow!
