1996.08.28-09.??. Round Robin 11 rounds. 12 players. Rating average 2484. Category X. GM norm 7.5. IM norm 5.5.
Indonesian ace GM Utut Adianto Wahjoewidajat added another highlight to his already glittering résumé although this time he had to share it with GM Jörg Hickl, an eccentric player from Germany. For Hickl the win should be a relief after his disastrous performance in a previous tournament in Indonesia that left him in the bottom of the table.
IM Ruben Gunawan also delivered a solid display. He was rewarded with his first GM norm. Ruben then completed his GM title two years later in 1998.
