Great sportsmanship was displayed at the 44th Chess Olympiad on Sunday by a Jamaican player.

Estonian chess player Kanep Meelis, 39, fainted while playing against Jamaican Shaw Jaden.

Meelis was in a winning position when he fainted after Jaden's 39th move.

He was rushed to a private hospital where his condition was said to be stable.

The Estonian fainted at about 7 pm, about four hours after the third round started.

Rather than letting the clock run out of time and win the game, Jaden offered a draw which was accepted by the team captain.
