Malaysia’s Fortunes In Olympiad

8 October 2010, Kuala Lumpur – In today’s StarOnline, SS Quah discusses some of the chess games played by the men’s Malaysia chess team at the recently concluded 39th Chess Olympiad in Khanty-Mansiysk in Siberia, Russia held from 28th September till 3rd October 2010.

He discusses some of the missed opportunities during round 7 when Malaysia met the International Committee for Silent Chess (ICSC) chess team.

He also mentions the memorable third round for the Malaysians when meeting the Lithuanians chess team which had three grandmasters and one international master.

For me, following Malaysia’s fortunes from www.ugra-chess.com with live games of each round was heaven sent. At least ,we could manage to watch some of Malaysian chess games live. If you are a subscriber of either playchess.com or Internet Chess Club.com, then you will be very disappointed as they do not show the Malaysian chess team games.

At the official website of the chess olympiad (www.ugra-chess.com), we can even watch all four board games at one time. And share our team’s fortunes either good or bad, happy or sad, joyful or not. The wonders of the internet!

The players also helped by posting their recent pictures on their respective facebook accounts and share some of their critical moments in Khanty-Mansiysk with Malaysian chess enthusiasts. Again the wonders of the internet!
