Havana, September 8 (ACN) -- A draw for Yerisbel Miranda and a defeat for Lisandra Ordaz marked Thursday the Cuban performance within the Fide America team in the Women's World Team Chess Championship of Bydgoszcz 2023, in Poland.

Miranda agreed a 50-move draw in a Queen's Gambit against Dinara Wagner defending the second board as part of the match against Germany, in which the Americans conceded 1.5-2.5 points.

There was also equality on the first and third boards, defended by the Peruvian Deysi Cori and the Cuban representing Paraguay, Jennifer Perez. However, the setback was consummated after Argentina's Maria Jose Campos stumbled on the fourth board.

Before that result, the day had begun with an encouraging performance by the girls from America, who were able to tie the powerful United States squad, one of the favorites to occupy the throne, on two points.

On the first board Ordaz tilted her king against Alice Lee, but the balance was set by María José with her victory over Annie Wang on the third board, and in the remaining games Jennifer drew with Anna Zatonskih and the Colombian Valentina Argote with Atousa Pourkashiyan.

Now Fide America with only two units appears in the fifth position in group B, which is led by the United States with seven scratches.

Poland is second with five scores, one more than the accumulated by China and Bulgaria, placed next, in that order. Germany, also with two points, is in the bottom half of the standings.

In section A, Kazakhstan's team has been a runaway success, with four consecutive victories and eight points to its name. Georgia has six points, ahead of France and Ukraine, who both have four.

Contrary to expectations, India's girls have barely managed to score two points and are barely ahead of Egypt, who have not scored a single point.
