November 14, 2008

location of Dresden Found it difficult to get the games in PGN form from the official site (dresden2008.com).The games were playable on the Java board but not downloadable. Bummer.

However, thanks to Yusof who sent the PGN games to the chess-malaysia newsgroup we can now see the games of our Malaysian team from Round 1. I am republishing it here:-

Malaysians playing at table 38. NM Edward Lee is the team reserve player.
