9 May 2011, Kuala Lumpur – Here is the ninth round game between NM Lim Zhou Ren against Sumant Subramaniam (pix above) during the 2011 National Selection Trials for the Malaysian SEA Games 2011. Plus one extra game between Sumant Subramaniam and Fong Yit San in the earlier 8th round of the 2011 National Selection Trials at DATCC, Kuala Lumpur.
This result of this game triggered the playoff between Sumant Subramaniam and NM Kamalariffin Wahiduddin to determine the last remaining team player bound for the SEA Games in Jakarta later this year. It was reported that the playoff game went all the way until Armageddon stage when Kamalariffin (handling the black pieces and needing only a draw), lost his game.
