After a surprising draw yesterday, the U.S. team storms back with a win over South Africa 3.5-.5. GM Gata Kamsky took a rest this round. The Kobese-Nakamura game was a little interesting especially in the final position. Some sites are reporting this game a win for Kobese, but the official score is showing Nakamura as the winner. Tomorrow they face Azerbaijan.
