This morning I checked the results and got the shock of my life. A narrow win against a team like this? The team cannot be too happy with this. We should start getting worried.
Ben-Magana-Aron Teh (draw)
13. Nxg5 is the kind of move my opponents unleash on me in on-line bullet games. It sometimes works because well, it's bullet. But in an olympiad game? Aron went wrong almost immediately with 14. Bg4 which is not necessary at all and leaves the bishop trapped on the king-side. With his bishop trapped on g4 and White's killer bishop on the a2-g8 diagnoal, Aron wisely bailed out with a draw by perpetual.
Fong Yit San-Joseph Atwoli (white won)
Yit San won easily in a Scandinavian opening as the opponent did not have the theory at all (7...Bc8!?) and had his king caught in the centre.
Stephen Ouma - Sumant Subramaniam (white won)
Sumant crashed to his second loss. He made a big mistake with 17...dxe4? opening up the long diagonal for the white bishop on g2 and was outplayed.
Fadzil Nayan - Ngedwa Jackson (white won)
Black is unrated and Fadzil won easily straight out of the opening.
Malaysia 2.5 - Kenya 1.5

Jimmy, if you are so superior, then perhaps you should be the one representing Malaysia instead of the 5 guys sent out there...
This is a very poor result, enough said. Even the team there will agree with me.
Not everyone who make bad comment on Malaysia team should represent Malaysia. I support Jimmy on Malaysia was not doing well against Ghana.
I think the team did well enough. Sumant had an off game. But the others played well. Give credit where it is due. At least we won. Unlike mighty Ukraine who were held by Norway 2. Things like this happen. Most importantly we must support the team. Enough with the negativity, let's get behind Malaysia!
LOL. A weak team? And narrow win against them? We should be worrying for today's match.
The team does not agree with you, Jimmy. Yit San and Fadzil played very well. Aron did well to hold a draw in unfamiliar circumstances. Only Sumant had a bad day. The team did well to win. A win is a win. The players support each other. Any team member can have an off day where other players do well then.
I'm not blaming Sumant alone. Team did not do well against a much weaker opponent. That is the fact. You can call it whatever you like. Better for the team to concentrate on their task instead of reading my blog.
Jimmy broo!!! why u not thr? U r easily stronger than those kids...
Jimmy finished behind "those kids" in the national closed. Jimmy is strong but those in the team have been playing better. Please show some respect anon.
Why is Malaysia's strongest player Raymond Siew not there?
