Congratulations to GM Amin Tabatabaei from Iran, winner of the first night blitz tournament at Sunway Sitges!
Anton Korobov's lecture earlier today was entertaining and really interesting. Side activities everyday at Sunway Sitfes! And this Sunday, Ivanchuk's speech will kick off the day.
Although it's IM Harshit Raja who looks to be in trouble, it's actually GM Parham Maghsoodloo who lost his game in the 2nd. round at Sunway Sitges.

In chess the most unbelievable thing for me is that it's a game for everybody: rich, poor, girl, boy, old, young. It's a fantastic game which can unite people and generations! It's a language which you'll find people "speak" in every country.
