2nd DATCC league
Kamaluddin Yusuf of 17chess club played all the 9 rounds including a game against Ian Udani and managed a creditable draw against Udani.
Mohd Syazwan of university malaya Outfits Storm Warrior was an unlucky guy sitting on top board with a draw and no wins
.He was not featured when Storm Warrior met DATCC and Tan and Tan .Otherwise he would have won both that games.His only draw was with Nor Ilhamuddin, respectable in many ways
This game was yet another chance for Syazwan to break the duck , but then Kamaluddin was never a push over
