KL International Open Chess Championship 2008

The KL International Open Chess Championship 2008 is set to kick off today (December 15) up to December 21 in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.

My knowledge is that our Filipino players who participated in the just concluded Singapore Masters 2008 -- which our very own IM Richard Bitoon topped -- will fly straight to Kuala Lumpur to participate in the event.

How I wish for another Filipino to win this KL Open.

Notably, IM Bitoon and GM Mark Paragua made an emphatic 1-2 finish in the Singapore Masters.

It would be a Merry Christmas indeed if we make it 1-2-3 finish in KL.
