The latest Olympiad news on our man in Baku

Jim won his round eight game against the Djibouti team, and drew his round nine game against a player from San Marino. Tomorrow the Virgin Islands (which won against Djibouti and lost to San Marino) will face the team from Congo. Congo seems to have four players registered but only three onsite. If I'm understanding what I'm seeing, Congo has been posting that fourth, non-present player as their FIRST board, allowing the other three to play down. If that's the case tomorrow, Jim will get a win by forfeit, which I always find disappointing. But it will help the team.

So good luck in the last two rounds to the Virgin Islands and James McTigue!
