| IM Mas Hafizulhelmi |
After two week break ( to give way for Selangor Open) , The SEA Games Selection continued with two rounds ( round 6 and 7 ) held today. Round 6 of the men section is definitely the highlight of the day. The pairing saw the seniors meet the juniors.
Round 6
Men Section
| Round 6 on 2011/05/07 at 9:00am |
| Bo. | No. | | Name | Result | | Name | No. |
| 1 | 10 | IM | Liew Chee-Meng-Jimmy | 1 - 0 | | Fong Yit San | 8 |
| 2 | 9 | | Lim Zhuo Ren | 0 - 1 | | Wahiduddin Kamalarifin | 7 |
| 3 | 1 | | Subramaniam Sumant | 1 - 0 | IM | Mok Tze-Meng | 6 |
| 4 | 2 | | Tan Jun Feng | 0 - 1 | IM | Lim Yee-Weng | 5 |
| 5 | 3 | | Fong Yit Ho | 0 - 1 | IM | Mas Hafizulhelmi | 4 |
...and 'the results' is the seniors win with the score 4-1. Only Sumant held the junior flag when he unexpectedly 'slay' the Mokdern Defense against Malaysian no.2 - IM Mok Tze Meng. Probably Mok had to reconsider his black's opening reply against white 1.e4 since he has lost two game in this tournament against Fong Yit Ho and Sumant with the Mokdern ( 1.e4 g6).
Below is Sumant victory against Mok. Annotated game will follow later.....

Standing after Round 7
Men Section
With two more rounds to play, Malaysian no.1 - IM Mashafizul who is still unbeaten, lead the pack with 6 points followed by IM Jimmy Liew with 5 points. Except Sumant who is in 4th place, the other junior players fill the 7th-10th place. Except IM Mok Tze Meng who is in 6th place, the seniors seems to dominate the top places .
Women Section
Surprisingly the first seed - NWM Nurul Huda Wahiduddin is in the last place. She was clearly a little bit rusty against the more active juniors players. Nurul has seldom play in local and international tournament lately and she probably found that experienced didn't help much against the juniors.
