Dresden Olympiad: Round 2 - Malaysia wins 2.5-1.5

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.

Jersey is not a country but a small island in the English Channel with a population of 90,800.
