Indonesia Takes Both Golds in Blitz

Favourites Susanto Megaranto and Medina Warda Aulia made it a Golden Double in Blitz and in doing so, secured Indonesia the overall championship in 30th SEA Games Chess.

While it was a dominant performance by Medina, it was heartbreak for the Philippines as young Cuizon had put himself in a position to save Philippine pride but the veteran Megaranto was just too good in their last round encounter.

Shockingly, host Philippines ended the 30th SEA Games without a single medal in chess.
