The second World Telechess Olympiad brought 11 strong teams and there were few surprises on the early stage of the tournament as top four seeds qualified to the semifinals. In early 1982 England lost to the Soviet Union, even though Miles beat Balashov on top board while while East Germany took second straight final defeating Sweden. The Soviets once again took the trophy beating East Germany on tie-break. |
