image 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 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:-

 

GER  4. Germany 1 (GER1 / RtgAvg:2647, Captain: Boensch, Uwe / TB1: 4 / TB2: 14)
Bo. Name Rtg FED 1 2 3 Pts. Games RtgAvg Rp
1 GM Naiditsch Arkadij 2678 GER 1 ½ 1,5 2 2608 0
2 GM Khenkin Igor 2647 GER 1 1 2,0 2 2533 0
3 GM Gustafsson Jan 2634 GER 1 ½ 1,5 2 2498 0
