Bandaraya Chessmasters Results

I dont have the full result... but as it was posted in the chess-malaysia yahoo group by Mr Narayanan, here are the team result :

Champion : The Philippines Team
Second : Sarawak A
Third : Balls On Fire
Fourth : Sarawak B
Fifth : Z W Team

The Phillipines team is consists of filipinos that resides in Singapore. Notable player is IM Julio Sadorra, a regular player in Johor chess scene as well as the Malaysian Open tourney.

I was informed that few Pahang players took part too in the event, however I do not know their scores but whatever it is, it is always good to know that the MSSPahang is sending the players to play outside of Pahang, which is good!

While the individual results is very interesting, most of the games played in the final rounds were do or die! most games ended in a historic blitzing all the way until the end! top tables game like IM Sadorra, IM Paciencia, Ian Udani, Palma, T.Mandar, Mark Weng Yee and others makes the spectators chilled in wondering who will take the top ten placing.

Here are the results :
