Dimakiling co-leads the 111-strong playing field with top seed GM Mchedlishvili Mikheil (2634) of Georgia and the Chinese woman sensation GM Hou Yifan (2570).
Round 1 star performer 12-year old Paulon Bersamina (1966) lost to IM Tirto (2402) of Indonesia - but only after five hours of intense play lasting up to 60 moves. In the game, Bersamina was enjoying an advantageous middlegame position which led to a drawish opposite-colored Bishop endgame. However, the more exprerienced Tirto extracted the full point in the end.
Faced with another woman opponent for the second time, IM Kim Steven Yap (2416) erected a full point at the expense of WFM Dewi Aa Citra (1945) from Indonesia.
Notably, Julius Joseph de Ramos (234) drew his game against No.8 seed GM Iuldashev Saidali (2511) of Uzbekistan.
Ian Udani, the winner of the KL Rapid Grand Prix 2010 3rd Leg Open, has remained without a point.
