MANILA---It was playing coach National Master James Infiesto's turn to play savior as the sixth-ranked Philippines forged a 2-2 draw with second-ranked Israel in the fifth and penultimate round of the FIDE Chess Olympiad for People with Disabilities Friday at the Belgrade's Crown Plaza Hotel in Belgrade, Serbia.

The Davao City NM Infiesto halved the point with International Master Andrei Gurbanov in 74 moves of Vienna Opening on board three to keep the Filipinos in the ambitious runner up-place hunt.
