Hopefully they broadcast the whole tournament. If you come across any other streams throughout the games please post them. It’s makes saving replays much easier This account below is worth to patrol since the admin seems to be a Filipino, might be easier to find such streams https://twitter.com/sea_sports_news Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it is Chinese-influenced because the bishop is replaced with 'Elephant'. But no one beats Myanmar in 2013 which proudly add Burmese chess to the program lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh seriously? In fairness the organizers, they tried to fix the situation immediately and apologized to all the teams. I think has attempted more than they realistically should have for these games. It’s been a logistical nightmare. However, every venue I’ve seen has been done up nicely for the games, and is functioning at full ability. In the end, I think the organizers will get away with bad planning, but they’ll need to clean up their act if they want to host again. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Griff88 1,737 Posted November 26, 2019 #80 Share Posted November 26, 2019 As I said before, media framing worked really well in these Games. They keep focusing the bad side in Manila as if the other host cities doesn't exist. Venues in Clark are nice and overall running smoothly, halal food kitchen is ready, etc. But no one cares. Why? Because it won't appeal to readers... Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
