Betul betul Gila chess
One of the reasons today’s second series of Stonemaster Amateur is cancelled is because there is a tournament in Johor too. Stonemaster wanted to avoid the clash. In fact, Stonemaster is playing in that tournament !
Some of us complained that the entrance fee for Selangor Open was too expensive. Well guess what’s the entrance fee for the one-day touney in JB?
RM 50
They must have a fantastic prize money fee structure.
Anyway here’s the latest update from blogger ChessDigest :-
Participant list:
- IM Mas
- NM Mohd Kamal
- Ian Udani
- Abdullah Che Hassan
- Ismail Ahmad
- Sumant
- NM Zarul Shazwan
- Mak Weng Yee
- Fadli Zakaria
- Noorullah Omar
- Michael Siong
- T Mandar
- Marzuki
- Soh Zee Wee
Stay tuned for more updates from JB !
Update: Ian Udani emerged champ in the Johor tourney. Ian beat IM Mas on the way.

Many organisers think chess players are made of gold or operate gold mines. They must be affected by the MR/S$ exchange rate. Very cheap at only S$25! OR less than US$20!
