Singapore were without their talisman and top chess star at the 2010 Chess Olympiad and this proved decisive. His stand-in replacement IM Daniel Howard Fernandez could only manage 2 wins and 2 draws, finishing the tournament with 7 lost.
Despite that, GM Benjamin Tan maintained that he's proud of IM Daniel Fernandez. "He went there and played a few nice games, this trip serves more as an experience-getter for him rather than a real fight, he's still young".
Without the service of their top marksman Singapore could only attain 73rd position, winning 4, drawing 3 and losing 3 - including a devastating 4-0 reverse to Georgia.
