Posted by GilaChess

September 17, 2008

Remember GM Li Shilong (李师龙) ? There was a brief excitement when Lim Yee Weng obtained a win from him which gave Yee Weng a shot for the GM norm in the Malaysian Open.

Li Shilong now leads the tournament with half a point at 4.5/5.

He has an impressive result defeating Rolando Andador, Goh Weiming, Wesley So and Murtas Khazgaleyev (tournament highest rated at 2641). His only draw was to Zhang Zhong.

He meets Mikheil Mchedlishvilli (2604) next in round 6 that’s about to start afterwards.

Here’s the standing so far:-
