Tan Li Ting the 9 years old from KL is looking good to win the NWM title this year, since she is up the front unbeaten with 5.5/6, standing alone as the sole leader, the deciding game will be the result between her and last year NWM Alia Anin from Melaka with 4 points also unbeaten. Renitha on 2nd spot at the moment with 4.5 points, while Sarika, Amira and Winnie followed closely with 4 points.
