DATMO 2009 & Ambank Chess Challenge - 2009 (Round 2)

Currently round 2 is under way, the top board is still fighting in the Ambank section. Only second seeded, Panopio Rodolfo won against Sarika Subramaniam while top board Roel Abelgas still on the board against Izz Saifuddin.

While on DATMO 2009, the first board saw pairings of GM Li Chao vs WIM Zhang Xiaowen. Also we saw the pairings of Both Indonesians - GM Susanto Megaranto vs WGM Irene Sukandar. FM Mok Tze Meng is the only Malaysian playing on top seed, and currently clouching his "tiger palm" against GM Ziaur Rahman from Bangladesh. Hope he is going to make it well..

Update :

FM Mok just won a game against GM Ziaur Rahman. There are incentive if I am not mistaken for players who is non GM if beat a GM will get US$100 (I'll check on this). While on Ambank, Fadli has just won against Winston Silva.
