Malaysia is clearly the underdog vs the 11th seeded host country team. Heck even saying we are the underdogs is an understatement

On the other hand, the good thing is there is zero pressure on our boys. Hairulov Eat Your Heart Out aka Skinned Alive movie download My Stepmother Is an Alien video How the West Was Fun dvdrip mentions that if we can “steal” half or one point from the encounter it would be good. I agree with him

The mighty Germany1 team comprise:-

4. Germany 1 (GER1 / RtgAvg:2647, Captain: Boensch, Uwe / TB1: 4 / TB2: 14)

Wonder if I can use (abuse) my blogger status and avoid the late entry fine

Whatever it is, if there is no fine, I’ll most probably play. If there are fines I won’t play but I’ll still go there to cover the event. It’s going to be refreshing as it’s a long time since I’ve actually been to a local tournament.

It was a nail biting finish watching the game live between Malaysia vs Jersey (I have not heard of this country before!). On paper, Malaysia should win pretty easily but that was clearly not the case. On board 3 FM Jonathan Hawes over 100 points lower than IM Jimmy Liew held the draw. Unrated Tandy Chris held Mok to a draw too. Then, on the last board, I saw Edward have a winning position and then blundering it away only to be winning again after his opponent returned the favour. A good save by Edward in the end when he won. Edward’s game clinched the overall win for the team. Yee Weng’s game was the last to finish on board 1 and it ended in a draw too.

With the fantastic amount of pictures and live games coming out from Dresden, I’m glad I’m NOT there to “witness” the event. I’d rather be on my notebook with a live internet connection. Wish there were more active bloggers in Dresden that would use video and podcasts to liven the event a little more. Other than that, it’s already good experience following the event from the net.

Is Edward’s opponent a female?

All boards look pretty much (except Edward’s board of course!) even to my untrained eye. Hope this round will end in Malaysia winning again.

For our Pinoy readers, you will note that Singapore has a familiar name on board one. It is, of course, IM Enrique Paciencia. Got a note from Iggy Dee this afternoon, Dresden time, who informs me that IM Paciencia may soon become a Singaporean citizen.
