IM Mas In Tenth Position

The Singapore Chess Festival 2009 which is featuring a number of chess competitions including the Commonwealth Open 2009 from 9th-15th December 2009. Three of Malaysia’s top chess players are participating in this major Commonwealth Chess Open 2009.

Based on the latest ranking crosstable after Round 8, it would appear that the positions of our players are now in reverse. National Master Edward Lee Kim Han is in 8th position, IM Lim Yee Weng in 9th and IM Mas Hafizulhelmi in tenth position. They will have one more last round today.

Picture 1. Ranking Crosstable After Round 8, Commonwealth Open 2009, Singapore.

In the 8th round, NM Edward Lee drew his game, IM Yee Weng won and IM Mas lost his game to FM Fernandez Daniel Howard, Singapore (2230). This was the Singapore chess player that I was mentioning about earlier in my blog. He packs the punch and a little dynamo. IM Mas is now one of his victims. Let’s hope IM Mas wins his last round of the tournament.
