IM Mas Hafizul Hilmi wins PCMM Open 2007

IM Mas Hafizul Hilmi won the PCMM Open 2007 6.5 out of 7. It was an easy win for him who started the event with 5 wins in the 5 rounds before Zarul Shazwan manage to hold him to a draw in round 6. In the last round the IM needs only a draw to win the 1st place, he secured first place with a decisive last-round victory over 2nd tournament leader, FM Anas Nazreen Bakri.

Fariz Shafruddin get the second-placed, by winning over Zarul Shazwan with 6 out of 7 points.

Here is the list of the top ten in the event.
1. IM Mas hafizul Hilmi 6.5
2. Fariz Shafruddin 6.0
3. Zarul Shazwan Zullkafli 5.5
4. FM Anas Nazreen Bakri 5.0
5. Abdullah Che Hassan 5.0
6. Abdul Aziz Shukor 5.0
7. Zarul Shafiq Zullkafli 5.0
8. Nor Ilhamuddin 5.0
9. Muhd Aizuddin Che Hassan 5.0
10.Kamalarifin Wahiduddin 5.0

IM Mas Hafizul Hilmi plays his childhood favourite line, Grand Prix Attack against FM Anas Sicilian in the last round.

White: IM Mas Hafizul Hilmi vs Black: FM Anas Nazreen Bakri. White to move.

This is a winning position for the IM. Of course he knows how to exploit the double pawns at c file. A good position for intermediate chess player to learn how to exploit positional advantage.

That's a personal report from me as mindacatur representative. I leave the tournament straightly just after the result of final round out. So, no pictures of the closing ceremony. Bye.
