There are still four more rounds to decide the winner of the Kuala Lumpur Chess Open Championship 2009.

On board 2, we will see IM Liu Dede (Ina) squaring off with GM Thien Hai Dao (Vie) and on board 3, CM Nguyen Hoang Nam will challenge GM Dzhumaev Marat (Uzb).

While WIM Muminova Nafisa (Uzb) is at 2.5 points after 5 rounds and is playing against Kalugampitiya R.S. (Sri Lanka) on board 14.

For our Malaysian players, there will, generally, be playing on the lower boards. NM Edward Lee on board 17 against P Hasian (Ina), NWM Tan Li Ting on board 30 against our own Ismail Ahmad (Mas), our young gun Wong Jianwen on board 18 playing Legaspi Edmundo (Phi). While our lady veteran campaigner Haslindah Ruslan is still without a point on the scoreboard after 5 rounds. Let's hope everyone will get some points moving towards the seventh round in the afternoon. Best of luck to all players!
