27 September 2010, Khanty-Mansiysk – In the seventh round of the chess Olympiad, Malaysia will meet ICSC chess team, a 72nd rated team with 1 GM and 2 IMs on the team. If the Malaysian men’s team can outdo their higher rated opponents Malaysia will gain some respect. IM Mas has not lost to anyone so far with 4.5 points from six rounds. Just maybe he can beat his GM opponent in this seventh round and earn a possible GM norm in this tournament.
