Image via Wikipedia

After the 6th Round of the Deepavali Chess Rapid (10.20.30) 2009 held at Excel Chess Academy, OUG, Kuala Lumpur on the 17th October 2009, the up-and-coming youngster, Lim Zhuo Ren, the second seeded, is now clear leader at 6.0 full points.

Closely following behind him is Mark Siew with 5.0 points. A pack of six players with 4.5 points is within firing distance of the two front runners. This chasing pack includes Muhd Syakir Shazmeer, Mohd Fadli Zakaria (alias Stonemaster), Muhd Nabil, Muhd Irfan Haqqim, Jeff Tan Jun Feng, and WFM Nur Najiha.

The top seed of the tournament Abdullah Che Hassan is way back at no. 9 with 4.0 points bunched together with Jax Tham, WCM Nur Nabila, Muhd Aziz Farhan, Chong Kwai Kun and Mohamed Ismail.

With four more rounds of play, the field is still quite open. Who knows? A new up-and-coming player might just be the new star of this year's Deepavali Rapid Chess.

The tables below rank the players by the number of points won up to the sixth round of play and the second table below is the starting line-up for tomorrow morning at 9.30 am sharp at Excel Chess Academy, 18th October 2009 (Sunday).
