Eka Putra Wirya & co (Enerpac, Makita, SCUA) continued to treat us with plethora of chess delights. This time they came up with U20 event.

The event was the third after long break from the second one. That last event was held at Denpasar, Bali 2001 which was won by Susanto Megaranto. Now Susanto is a GM. Irwin Irnandi won the first at Bekasi 1999. Irwin was U10 World Champion in 1989.

Sandy Kurniawan, 2005 U20 National Champion, won the open section while Gerhana Ch Kartina conquered the girls section although she had strong oppositions from Yemi Jelsen and Chelsie Monica.
