Prize-giving

Two photos from the closing ceremony of the Malaysia Chess Festival at CitiTel Midvalley in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. I won’t delve further into the historical significance of this year’s tournament, as I’ve already said enough (see yesterday's story here). 

The first photo captures him receiving the champion’s trophy from Tan Lei Cheng, Chairman of IGB Berhad, which has sponsored the Arthur Tan Memorial Malaysia Open for the last 19 years. 

In the second photo, he's surrounded by a group of ladies including Nila Inangda Manjam Keumala (mother of Malaysian Chess Federation President Akhramsyah Muamar Ubaidah), Tan Pei Lyn (daughter of IGB Berhad’s Executive Director Tan Boon Lee) and Penang Chess Association President and Malaysian Chess Federation Vice-President See Swee Sie, along with Tan Lei Cheng. Both photos are courtesy of Andrew Ooi.
