Another tough pairing for Malaysia. Slovenia is headed by veteran and famous GM Beliavsky, All the other team members are quite young (20+) but very highly rated.
No games tonight as it [...]

Round 3: Jimmy loses, Yee Weng draws

On board 2 Yee Weng draws vs GM Gustaffson while Jimmy had to concede a loss on board 4.
Already a better result compared to the last Olympiad where we got trashed 4-0. Mas and Mok is still fighting it out.
Update: Mas just lost.

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 [...]

Dresden Olympiad 2008: Download Round 2 PGN games

It seems that the official site still hasn’t fixed the broken links to download the games in PGN form. Just like Round 1 PGN, I had to “steal” Round 2 PGN too using the script I wrote yesterday. Click the above to download Round 2 PGN of the Dresden 2008 Olympiad - Men’s section.

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 [...]

Watching the game live

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 [...]

Board pairings are out. Mas is rested and NM Edward Lee gets to play for the first time.
Based on ratings Malaysia should win without much problem. However, it must be noted the Jersey took out Andador (with GM on [...]

Dresden Olympiad 2008: Round 1 ALL the games in PGN

Thanks to Yusof again, I managed to figure out the directory and file naming structure from the official site to get the individual PGN files.

Wrote a simple script in PHP to copy the games into one file.
For those programmers out there. Here is the script if you are interested
<?php// get Dresden PGN [...]

Dresden Chess Olympiad: Round 1 games

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 [...]
