The maximum prize per win is US$ 100 and if the number of wins exceeds 20, then those defeating GMs will receive a pro-rated share of the prize fund. Another US$ 200 will be given as the Best Game Prize. |

Medals & certificates will be given to prize winners. The champion’s name will be engraved on the Dato’ Arthur Tan Challenge Trophy. |
