Resurgent Edhi wins 10th round

JAKARTA (JP): Indonesian Grand Master Edhi Handoko regained
some pride on Tuesday night with a victory over Bangladesh's
Master International Zillur in the 10th round of a chess
tournament in Dhaka.

The win put Edhi back in fifth place with 5.5 points, along
with home favorite MI Reefat bin Sattar. Edhi slid to the eighth
place after a defeat to Reefat on Monday.

Edhi's only teammate at the tournament, Ruben Gunawan, kept
his hopes of reaching the Master International title alive
despite a draw with MI Magomedov of Uzbekistan. Ruben now
collects 4.5 points, with three games in hand. He will take the
coveted title if he manages at least 6.5 points.

Ruben will play Indian chess wizard MI Kashi, GM Serper of
England and compatriot Edhi, Antara reported. (amd)
