Poh defeated with FIDE Master Christopher Castellano of the Philippines in their Sicilian skirmish to improve to eight points, two points ahead of a chase pack that include National Master Gerald Ferriol of the Philippines, Maximiliano Marrhuimawan of Indonesia and Arena International Master Chee Sian Sebastien Chua of Malaysia. The 15-year-old Poh was playing Marrhuimawan at press time and regardless of the result would run away with the crown and the 2,500 Malaysian ringgit champion’s purse, in the FIDE week-long standard tournament, organized by Atty. See Swee Sie and Madam InHooi Teh of Penang Chess Association. In other results, Ferriol, a chess instructor in Thailand, upset countryman 8-time Illinois, USA champion International Master Angelo Abundo Young, while Chua battled Marrhuimawan to a standoff.-Marlon Bernardino- Click here to view a list of other articles written by Marlon Bernardino.  |
