SMACH RESULTS

The results for SMACH Open is out, and IM Mas Hafizulhelmi (picture right) predictably won all his games easily. I couldn't even think this tournament qualified as a warm-up for his quest for the Grandmaster title, as none of his opponents could even chase his shadow, moreover shake his mantle. The final standing:

1. IM Mas Hafizulhelmi
2. Baharuddin Hamzah
3. Ahmad Rizal Othman
4. Muhammad Arshad
5. Fairul Yusoff
6. Bakri Jusoh
7. M Syazwan Zulkifli
8. Sansubari
9. Hamlee Ismail
10. Ahmad Zulhilmi

Whereas in the under-18, Wan Mohd Adli (picture left) finished unscathed ahead of more fancied opponents such as Izzul Ikhwan, Ahza Daisam and Mohd Abhar Akmal.
