2015 KL Open in International Chess Media - " Chess Asia Pacific "

Read article dated 1st September 2015 at:- Chess Asia Pacific

The eighth edition of the KL International Open Chess Competition 2015 is featured today in an international chess media i.e. Chess Asia Pacific at www.chessasiapacific.com

At a time when its difficult to get any coverage for chess events in the media not only in Malaysia but elsewhere internationally and especially under the prevailing circumstances in Malaysia, the Organising Committee is thankful for the international chess media coverage. Additionally, the KLCA would like to thank members of the media corps who had in one way or another provided coverage or assisted with the KL Open 2015.
