Some photos from day 1 of the chess event:-

FM Mok Tze Meng became champion of the 1st Penang Heritage City International Open with his win over Tan Eu Hong in tinal round. As early as round 3, Mok was leading the tournament with IM Mas Hafizulhelmi. Mas beat top seed GM  Schebler in the fifth round but his chances to win the championship was dashed by a loss to NM Ronnie  Lim  in Round 7. That left Mok as the sole leader going into the final 2 rounds.

Despite the loss, Mas bounced back with a win and the last round saw him setting for a peaceful draw against Vietnamese Do Thi Thuong thus tying in points with GM Gerhard Schebler who beat Ismail Ahmad in the same round.

Mas had the better tie-break so takes 2nd place.

 
Top seed GM Gerhard suffered a loss to Mas and a draw to NM Ronnie Lim. He takes third place after having the same score as Mas but losing out on tie-break.

Local Penang coach, Loo Swee Leong took fourth place after defeating NM Ronnie Lim in the final round.

  
Yeap Eng Cheam, Looi Xin Hao took 5th and 6th place respectively with 6 points out of 9.

NM Ronnie Lim Chuin Hoong with the unexpected final round loss settled for 7th place.

Ismail Ahmad, Sumant Subramaniam and Do Thi Huong took 8-10th place respectively.
