Kristianus Liem GM Yu Yangyi from China now leading alone with 4,5 point and rating performance 2858! 2nd Indonesia Open Chess Championship 2012 Inside This Issue: Cover 1 Inside This Issue 2 Today’s Review 2 Behind these bulletin : Prizes 3 Kristianus Liem Peter Long Results Round 4 4 Stefani Dian Cheri Virda Rizka Aulia Results Round 5 5 Evi Lindiawati Interview with Player : Jan Ehlvest 7 Tournament Schedule 9 Pictures Gallery 10 Games 13 Today’s Review China’s Yu Yangyi Sole Leader Today was the second of the three days with double rounds but there was little letup by the players with the majority of games going all the way. We now have a sole leader on 4.5/5 in China's Yu Yangyi who beat the Russian GM Dimitri Bocharov with the black pieces in the top board match up. Several players had the chance to match that score but the draws by Lu Shanglei, Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son, Surya Sekhar Ganguly, Avetik Grigorian and Merab Ganunashvili allowed Li Chao, a convincing winner over Dao Thien Hai, Ivan Sokolov who downed Xiu Deshun, and Boris Chatalbashev who beat Marat Dzhumaev to be the eight players in second place half a point behind on 4/5. Local hope Susanto Megaranto remained in contention with an unbeaten 3.5/5 after full blooded battle with IM Oliver Dimakiling that ended in a draw. They are joined by Bocharov, John Paul Gomez, Viorel Iordachescu, Wei Yi, Vladislav Tkachiev, Oleg Korneev, Ehsan Ghaem Maghami, Xu Jun, Nguyen Duc Hoa, Wang Chen, and Wan Yunguo. Tomorrow is a well earned rest day with an excursion planned to nearby Bogor but we can expect more exciting chess when the games resume for Round 6 at 9.30 am on 22 October and Round 7 later that day at 4.30 pm. Issue 4 Page 2 2nd Indonesia Open Chess Championship 2012 Round 4 Report: No More Players Perfect Score All top three board encounters were drawn and as a result no player is left with a perfect score. Joining Dimitri Bocharov, Lu Shanglei, Surya Shekhar Ganguly, Avetik Grigorian, and Merab Gagunashvili on 3.5/4 are Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son and Yu Yangyi, the only two players able to record wins from amongst the chasing pack. Yu proved too strong for Hungary's No 1 woman player Hoang Thanh Trang while Nguyen defeated IM Wang Chen. Many of the pre-tournament favourites are now also very much back in contention with 3/4 including top seed Ivan Sokolov and second seed Li Chao. Local hope Susanto Megaranto is also in this mix with a solid performance to date as is another early favourite Jaan Ehlvest while Viorel Iordachescu cannot be counted out. This group includes Xiu Deshun, Dao Thien Hai. John Paul Gomez, Boris Chatalbashev, and Marat Dzhumaev are also still very much to be reckoned with. Of the none GMs, IM Oliver Dimakiling has also out his GM norm hopes back on track while FM Wei Yi will be looking for at least an IM norm.
