Vietnam is developing to be the next chess powerhouse alongside China and India. Their undeniable domination in the 26th SEA Games 2011 at Palembang, Indonesia, is just another proof. Vietnam seized 6 gold medals of possible 9. The country left 2 gold medals to be shared by the past rulers of South East Asia, Philippines and Indonesia. The other gold medal, in the Thai Chess (renamed as ASEAN Chess) category, was naturally won by Thailand.Thanks to GM Susanto Megaranto the host didn’t finish without golds. Megaranto successfully accomplished an uphill task. He grabbed the most precious gold medal of all. He set aside all his competitors in the open category. The Indonesian ace notched 4 VP with important victories over Filipino GM Wesley So and Vietnamese GM Cao Sang. Wesley So was a prodigy who had been touted as a potential future contender for the World Champion crown.
Megaranto’s achievement was very surprising, especially after his poor display in the mixed pairs. In this category he scored below 50%, 2 VP of possible 5. Indonesian pair which was the 1st seed missed the medals altogether. The host pair had to suffer a painful defeat from the Malaysian pair whose players’ rating total was about 700 less. On day to forget Megaranto lost to IM Lim Yee Weng while WGM Irene Sukandar was held by 12-year old WFM Nur Najiha Hisham. The Malaysian pair was finally rewarded with the bronze medal, Malaysia only medal in the whole chess competition.

Indonesia actually was the heavy favorite in the women category. The gold medal was so close yet so far for Sukandar. She ended with only half points behind the co-winners WIM Nguyễn Thị Mai Hồng of Vietnam and WFM Rulp Ylem Jose of Philippines.
The host experienced another near miss in the women blitz. WFM Media Warda Aulia and WIM Chelsie Monica Sihite with 6.5 VP sat down on the 2nd and the 3rd place respectively. The first place belonged to Vietnamese WIM Hoàng Thị Như Ý with 7 VP.
An honourable mention should go to FM Hamdani Rudin in the rapid category. Despite of being a lowly 6th seed the veteran played valiantly against all odds. He placed himself at 2nd only behind a world class player GM Lê Quang Liêm of Vietnam. Rudin had claimed high profile victims in the likes of Vietnamese GM Nguyễn Ngọc Trường Sơn and Filipino GM Oliver Barbosa en route to his silver medal.
