PGN 2011.06.02

2003.01.25-02.02. 9 rounds Swiss. 168 players. 2 games. Incomplete.

The tournament was part of the multi-event Putra Samarinda which held other events: wrestler, gymnastic, football, and rock climbing. The total participant of the chess section was 168 players. Among them were 3 GMs, 2 IMs, and 7 FMs.

All members of Indonesian team for Bled Chess Olympiad 2002 participated. They were GM Cerdas Barus, IM Ivan Situru, FM Irwanto Sadikin, FM Awam Wahono, Andi Ahmad Nur Jabal, and Susanto Megaranto.

Susanto drew the most of spectators’ attentions. At fifteen he was the hottest rising star in Indonesia. He was also the defending champion. Susanto didn’t disappoint his fans. All of his games were decisive. He won seven games and lost two. He had to bow to Junaid Jaya Pamungkas in round 4 and Cerdas in round 8. His loss to Cerdas proved costly. Although he was back to winning in the last round, the championship trophy had already been beyond his reach.

Two GMs in this event, GM Cerdas and GM Edhi Handoko, displayed solid performance. They placed in second and third on the table. The winner of this event was FM Awam Wahono. He had the same VP with that of Cerdas and Edhi but with the better PS (Progressive Score).

1995.07.08-15. 11 rounds Round Robin. 12 players. Rating average 2406. Category VII. IM norm 6.5. No games available.

The second leg of the circuit was off to start after only a couple days break from the first one. Not all players from the first leg participated. Terry Toh, IM Andi Supardi Suhendra, and FM Irwin Irnandi didn’t play. IM Dede Liu was the new addition.

The convincing winner of the first leg Filipino Barlo A Nadera seemed to run out of gas. He played only three decisive games and drew the rest. His overall score was less than 50%. The championship trophy belonged to Vietnamese IM Từ Hoàng Thông who won six games. Indonesian FM Irwanto Sadikin inflicted his only loss.

Failed to get IM norm in the first leg FM Denny Juswanto determined to not miss in the second one. He finally prevailed. Other IM norm gainers were Australian FM Leonid Sandler and two host players FM Bobby Kurniawan and Irwanto.

The player who capitalised the most from the circuit was Bobby Kurniawan. He grabbed IM norm twice. According to FIDE regulations in order to get an IM title, a player had to score IM norms in at least 24 games. The total games he played from the two legs was a perfect fit. From the rating side Bobby exceeded the requirement. He gained at least 75 points of rating. Bobby transformed himself from a mediocre FM to an IM with rating 2400+ in less than three weeks! A record that was hard to break for many years to come.

Incomplete.
Challengers. 16 rounds Round Robin. 15 players. 4 games.
Challengers Playoff. 2 rounds Match. 2 players. 1 game.
Final. 10 rounds Match. 2 players. 2 games.

On historical notes this was the first time in a National Championship players no longer represented their cities but regions/provinces instead. The 7th National Championship had a different format than the previous ones. Firstly players had to qualify to represent their regions/provinces. Those players then played in a Round-Robin challenger tournament. Finally the winner of this tournament was arranged to play in a match with Baris M Hutagalung, the defending champion who won the National Championship 1960 held in Medan.

Almost nothing separated between Arovah Bachtiar and Lim Hong Gie. The two dominated the challenger tournament. They tallied for first spot with 11.5 VP each. The playoff also ended equally 1-1. Arovah then went on to the final stage based only on his better SB (Sonneborrn Berger).

At the final stage on-fire Arovah proved too much for Baris. Arovah took lead immediately by beating Baris in round 1. Baris flashed a glimmer hope of resistance when he evened the scoreline after winning round 2 and held Arovah to draw in five more rounds. But that’s all. In the following rounds Baris’s lack of routines was finally evident. He lost in round 8 and 10. Arovah won the match 6-4. This was Arovah’s second national crown after his first in 1953.

Adianto-Seirawan Chess Match, Jakarta 1994

Adianto-Seirawan Chess Match, Jakarta 1994

					1	2	3	4	VP

2	Wahyuwidayat, Utut Adianto	7100019	g	2520	0	=	=	0	1.0

PGN 2011.05.21

1994.11.21-25. 4 rounds Match. Rating average 2553. 4 games. Complete.

Originally GM Vassily Smyslov of Russia was the player who would play GM Utut Adianto. Unfortunately the ex-World Champion could not make to Jakarta because of health reasons. The organiser, Enerpac Chess School, received a notification and apology letter from Smyslov on November 15. So in less than a week they had to find a substitute. In such sort notice GM Yasser Seirawan of USA kindly agreed to play Utut.

The idea of playing Smyslov was probably to give Utut an experience to play (ex) world class player but still maintaining a fair chance to win. Smyslov’s rating of 2510 was about on par with Utut’s 2520 but he was already 73 years old and off course was fading. Against Seirawan the story was different. The American was still in his prime and definitely was tougher than Smyslov. Not only his rating of 2585 reflected it but he was also much younger (born in 1960) than Smyslov. At that time Seirawan was part of USA elite players. The Syrian born had won USA National Championships thrice in 1981, 1986, and 1991. Utut’s chance to win the match was ranging from slim to non-existence.

During the match beating Seirawan had been proved too hard a task for Utut. Utut lost 2 and drew 2 in the 4 games match. On the hindsight Utut could learn great deal. For Seirawan the match might help him to keep in shape before he played in Moscow Chess Olympiad the following month. He was going to play for USA on the third board.

PGN 2011.05.26

1995.06.28-07.05. 13 rounds Round Robin. 14 players. Rating average 2359. Category V. 24 games. Incomplete.

The tournament was only the second international chess event held at the city of Yogyakarta. The first was 2nd First Lady’s Cup back in 1982. So it had been long 14 years break.

The result of the tournament was almost the opposite of the seed order. The first seed IM Irwanto Sadikin of Indonesia hit the bottom of the table while 11th and 12th seeds were on the big three. What did happen to Irwanto? Irwanto only won 1 game and lost … 9.

Non-master Barlo A Nadera of Philippines won the event but the host didn’t finish with empty handed. Indonesian Junior Champion 1993 FM Bobby Kurniawan scored 8.5 VP that was good enough for the IM norm.

Another host player FM Denny Juswanto had to swallow a bitter pill in the last round. In a must-win situation to get the IM norm he lost to Barlo. The win for Barlo didn’t change anything since he had won the tournament and had secured the IM norm.

Aside from Bobby and Barlo, Singaporean Terry Toh also got the IM norm.

Worth noting that Bobby had to suffer two losses from his compatriots, GM Ardiansyah and IM Andi Supardi Suhendra, en route to his norm. So there was no ‘I let you win’ scheme here. Probably Bobby was the Indonesian player who had the busiest international schedule during 1993-6. He played in MTO Biel, Switzerland Open, Asian Championship U18, and World Championship U20, among others. He was also a member of Indonesian team for Chess Olympiad Yerevan 1996.

2003.02.17-25. 11 rounds Swiss. g/120′. 28 players. 4 games. Incomplete.

The tournament filled the void of international chess events in Indonesia where non-rated players could play and get ratings. According to FIDE regulations, to get rated in a Swiss System tournament a non-rated player should play at least four players with ratings. FIDE will publish his/her rating after playing nine rated players.

Twenty eight players participated in this event. Among them were thirteen rated players. They mostly came from the cities of Java. Anderson Y Harun was the only Sumatera player. He was from Siak, Riau province. Keith Bean was an English who resided at Yogyakarta, DIY province, Java. Hisar Simanjuntak, Sutarno, and Jamaludin who scored 8 VP each were the three-way tie co-winners. Glad to know that the all non-rated players in this event, except Keith Bean, are now becoming rated.

The sponsor of the tournament was National Master Ruddy Lantang. He was no stranger in the chess patronage business. This was his third. His first was here.

Bing Sardjono was registered as a non-rated player. The truth was he should have a rating years ago. He had played in international tournaments such as Asian Masters 1976 and Asian Team Championship 1977. Bing had been one of the Indonesian leading players for the second half of 1970s. He remained unrated for an unclear reason. That could be the tournaments he played were not sanctioned by FIDE or the FIDE’s (and Percasi’s) recurrence of sloppiness.

1960.08.06-13. 13 rounds Round Robin. 13 players. 4 games. Incomplete.

When Baris M Hutagalung was in his zone, no body could stop him. Not Max Arie Wotulo, not Arovah Bachtiar, and not everyone else. Baris came out as a convincing winner in the 6th Indonesia National Championship 1960. He collected a massive 10 VP from 12 games for the first place. The runner-ups were Max and Merlep Ginting with 9 VP. Arovah and the defending champion Abubakar Baswedan were in the next order with 8 VP each. Both Max and Arovah had better SBs (Sonneborn Bergers) than those of Merlep and Abubakar.

The event welcomed the then chairman of Percasi (Indonesian Chess Federation), Ds FKN Harahap, as one of the participants. This was the only national championship to have that privilege to date. At that time many Percasi officials were also an accomplished chess players beside Harahap, i.e. Dame Panggabean, Max Arie Wotulo, GS Pandjaitan etc.

This was the last time Baris won a national championship. Very sad knowing that in the next few years Baris left chess for good to play bridge. As a success became his habit, he quickly gained recognition in this field and became a member of Indonesian national bridge team.

Without a single doubt Baris M Hutagalung has been the most dominant Indonesian chess player during 1950-60.

2009.03.24-28. 9 rounds Swiss. g/90′. 104 players. No games.

How often do you see a ten years old kid beating a GM in a tournament? Muhammad Ihsan Siregar did just that in the 2nd Lampung Chess Festival 2009. He beat GM Ardiansyah in 53 moves at 8th round. The win also meant a Percasi (Indonesian Chess Federation) Master norm for him.

Ihsan was not the only player who got a norm. The tournament was an avalanche of norms. Eleven players successfully pocketed their norms, four grabbed NM norms and seven nailed PM norms. Among those gainers, eight came from the host. To get an NM norm a player needed to score 6.5 VP. A PM norm was half points less.

The tournament itself was won by the first seed GM Susanto Megaranto. Until the penultimate round three players followed Susanto closely, FM Kasmiran, IM Dede Liu, and IM Muhammad Ivan Situru. In the last round Ivan and Dede lost while Kasmiran won. But those results didn’t really matter since Susanto won his last game to ensure him the first place. Another GM in this event, Ardiansyah had a disappointing result at 13th. The second seed IM Irwanto Sadikin had worst place at 15th.

The tournament was part of the birthday celebration of the Lampung province. It was no coincidence since the chairman of Percasi for Lampung province, Syamsurya Ryacudu, was also the governor of the province. He was an NM himself.

Euwe-Tumbuk Match. 1930.08.??-??. 1 game. Incomplete.

During 1927-1933 Dr Machgielis (Max) Euwe, the then Dutch Champion and soon to be a World Champion, had been preparing to challenge the World Champion Alexander Alekhine. He played training matches with the likes of José Raúl Capablanca, Salomon Flohr, and Efim Bogoljubov. He also played in simultaneous exhibitions and matches with lesser known players.

As part of that preparation Max Euwe visited Indonesia (then Netherlands Indies) in 1930. Euwe played many games, literally hundreds of them, at the cities of Sumatera and Java. Beside playing in simultaneous exhibitions, Euwe played matches with the best local players on equal terms. While in Java he managed to beat his opponents, that was not the case in Sumatera. The Tanah Karo Champion Si Tumbuk held him 1-1 at the city of Medan, North Sumatera. All games were draw.

Euwe’s overall result during his visit was 91%: 530 wins, 50 draws, and 32 losses.
