+ Dresden Olympiad: Round 2 – Malaysia wins 2.5-1.5 By GilaChess 15 November 2008 at 3:19 am and have 2 Comments

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.

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.

Board pairings are out. Mas is rested and NM Edward Lee gets to play for the first time.

The Cook psp

Based on ratings Malaysia should win without much problem. However, it must be noted the Jersey took out Andador (with GM on first board) by 2.5 to 1.5 in the first round so they should not be underestimated. Particularly dangerous may be Tandy Chris on board 2 who is unrated but scored a win vs a 2200 player in the previous round.

Good luck Malaysia !!
