Justin Ong - Singapore Challengers 2007 Champion
Credits to hairulov chessmaniacs for spotting this piece of juicy news. This is certainly good news after our disappointing loss to Singapore last week.
Malaysian Justin Ong won the Singapore Challengers ahead of 62 Singaporeans and one point clear of his nearest rival.
Justin was only seeded 64 in the tournament and he started it with a first round loss against WFM Victoria Chan Wei Yi .
However he won ALL of his other games to finish an outstanding 8/9!! He finished ahead of Indonesian Kaiser Jenius Hakiki and Setiawan Iwan whom he defeated in the last 2 rounds.
