JCC to challenge Dream Team

JAKARTA (JP): Six members of the JAPFA Chess Club (JCC) will
challenge the Dream Team -- comprising young players Taufik
Halay, Susanto Megaranto, Andrean Susilodinata and Tirta Chandra
from the Utut Adianto chess school in Bekasi -- for a friendly
match on Thursday at the JAPFA office in Daan Mogot, West
Jakarta.

The friendly match will serve as a warm up for the players
before they compete at the Bali National Competition in July and
the Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Kuala Lumpur from Sept. 8 to
Sept. 17.

The Dream Team is expected to be able to overcome foreign
players such as from India, the Philippines and Vietnam in
international events.

"So we have to prepare our chess players and JAPFA's support
in grooming our top players is very much appreciated," Utut said
in a press release. (yan)
