41st Selangor Open Chess Tournament 2014 - Final Results

The Chess Association of Selangor successfully hosted the 41st Selangor Open Chess Tournament this evening. Top rated IM Nolte Rolando ( FIDE 2417) repeated the feat he clinched two years ago with a 8 1/2 points

In the Closing Speech, CAS President thanked the players both locally and overseas for participating in the Tournament. The relatively strong contingent Filipino contingent almost dominated the top tables.. However the local challenge provided enough sting with Mohd Saprin taking the 2nd spot with a strong 7 1/2 points. The Tournament should serve as an invaluable test of  skills for the local players 

Equally strong challenge came from our local youngster Fong Yit San in 6th Position but the most impressive must be our local girl Rosamund Koo who shot up from her 40th ranking at the start, to a respectable 9th Position, a not so common feat for any female in our local open competition.

41st Selangor Open [FIDE-rated]: Update#3 [Early Bird Discount Extended by 3 days]

CAS shall extend the early bird discount up to 24th April in order to enable some who have pre-registered but yet to make payment. Meantime, anyone who yet to register can enjoy the discount too if you submit the form and make payment by 24th April.

As at 20th April, we have 40 players in the list, still a long way to go if compare to last year 73 participants. With the organizing cost escalating over the years, it will not going in favour of 9-round Classical Time that needs 5 or 6 days of competition. The venue rental alone (without adding tables, chairs and equipment rental yet) is equivalent to this year Champion winning prize, i.e. RM 2,500/=.

CAS really hope the participant numbers can be doubled in 10 days time. There are 35 individual prizes up for grab totalling RM10,000/= cash and 3 prizes for Best Schools/Institution of Higher Learning. For those who wish to land a support by joining this event, please Click here for more details.

41st Selangor Open [FIDE-rated]: Update#2

This is the oldest chess tournament in Malaysia. CAS hopes to get your support in participating so that this event can carry on as part of Malaysian Chess since 1974.

We appreciate players (listed below) who have signed up for this year edition and hope that this edition does not create an all-time low turnout. It may come a day when CAS has no choice but to discontinue this fide-rated classical time control event because the participants are dwindling in the last few years.

A possible feasible option for next year onwards is to put an end to the Classical time and change it to Rapid time control. Nevertheless, CAS has to make a big decision pending the turn-out in this edition.

There are 35 individual prizes up for grab totalling RM10,000/= cash and 3 prizes for Best Schools/Institution of Higher Learning. Once again, we yet to have a sponsor for this event. For those who are interested to join, Click here for more details.
