Bojonegoro, a city in East Java, held a national chess event for the first time. The event drew attentions of 80 players from five provinces. The players came from East Java, Central Java, DI Yogyakarta, Bali, and West Nusa Tenggara.

East Java, Central Java, and Yogyakarta practically sent their strongest players. NM Nessy Suheri and NM Agus Suboro led bunch of players of East Java. Central Java pinned their best bet to NM Buntoro. Yogyakarta had almost all of their best players in the arena: PM (Percasi master) Sumadyo, PM Heru Adfa, Arko Pramudhito, Ridwan Nursanto, Arif Yanuar, etc. PM Pardi Kusnan and Nurdin Abubakar were the solo representatives of Bali and West Nusa Tenggara respectively.

Buntoro and Nessy Suheri with their vast exeperience became the hot favorites to win the event. Unfortunately they lost important points in the early rounds. Buntoro surprisingly lost to a Bojonegoro player, non-master Alang Harsono, in the first round. Nessy had to settle with a draw against Arko Pramudhito. The latter finally won the championship trophy after collecting 8 VP. Nessy and Buntoro shared the second place with 7.5 VP each.

The successful event gave an ideal start for the subsequent ones. The chess community of Bojonegoro continues showing their support to the game they love by regularly holding chess national events to date.
