The 5th round clash between the top two seeds proved a victory for the Pinoy player - the Philippines' latest grandmaster, Mark Paragua. He overcame GM Dao Thien Hai of Vietnam. Paragua is now on 4.5 points, just a measly half point ahead of Adianto. The Indonesian drew with Grandmaster Antonio today.
Other Pinoys in action were Gonzales and Barbosa whose duel on board 6 ended peacefully. Both are now on 3.5 points. As for Torre, he did manage to win against compatriot Dimakiling and moves up a point to 2.5.
Our man in KL, Gilachess, has once again provided some photography. Look out for recent visitor to Australia, Jesse Sales who seems to have settled into the 'Matrix' look. I wonder how he sees the board given that he normally wears prescription glasses. Today, he lost to IM Situru. Also in that link above is a short video of a post-game analysis. Great job Gila!
And here is the drawn game between Paragua and Adianto from the fourth round.
