Last weekend the 2nd First Friday Classical Chess was held at the Excel Chess Academy, Overseas Union Garden, Kuala Lumpur from 4-6 September 2009.

Seven players participated in the chess tournament which used the 90 min. plus 30 second increment per game format.

Mr. Francis Tan came out tops over five rounds of play while Jax Tham, the tournament host, was second, Anthony Tan was third. Surprisingly, Kaushal Khandar, finished a distant sixth.

Let's hope the next First Friday Classical Chess in October 2009, will continue to have more players participate as playing in such a long time control locally is far and few. So having one nearby should be good for everyone to participate.

Kudos to the tournament organiser and to continue hosting such tournaments in the future.
