Team Profile
With the return of IM Kevin Denny, Barbados will field their strongest team in recent years. Denny won the last Barbados championship in a thrilling encounter, besting defending champion FM Delisle Warner. Warner has been the most consistent player for Barbados and relies on solid, practical play.
Terry Farley will test the Olympiad waters on board #3, but perhaps the key player on the team will be FM Philip Corbin. A veteran of eight previous Olympiads, Corbin may be able to pile up points in the 4th spot. In lieu of the absence of Askari Elson, the "Bajans" will have Mark-John Allyene and Junior Open Champion, Martyn Del Castilho.
