The playing hall at Toa Payoh West Community Centre
In spite of the competitive nature of the participants, this year’s event witnessed an act of outstanding sportsmanship. Dr Dominic Lo, who once represented Singapore at the Chess Olympiad, offered a draw to IM Lim Yee Weng from the lawyers after the latter flagged in a dead drawn position. When I asked him why he did so, Dominic simply quipped “I don’t want to win on time la!”

In many ways, this reflects the overall spirit of this event – this might be a competitive tournament but friendship comes first! The Lawyers, fielding a star studded line up with IM Terry Toh and IM Lim Yee Weng helming the first two boards emerged as deserving champions. Congratulations to the winners and we look forward to next year’s edition.
