Open Section

MAS Malaysia 17½ 7  :  7 14½ Wales WLS 

 

Team Composition

51.1 IM Mas Hafizulhelmi 2422 -  FM Jones Richard S 2373 
51.2 IM Mok Tze-Meng 2416      - Bennett Alan 2154 
51.3 FM Long Peter 2302           -CM Jones Iolo C 2294 
51.4  Lau Gregory 2159              - Young Alan 2009

Looks like Tan Khai Boon is taking a break and Greg will play his second game of the tournament.Given the present scenario Greg did the right thing in resting Khai Boon.

Mas should bounce back to win this game and so is Mok .  The least Malaysia will get is a draw
