Twenty one years old Denny Juswanto became the champion of DKI Jakarta for the second time. The first was in 1973 when he was only 14 years of age. The win was decided in the ultimate round when he beat Fabian Lumentut. The future Indonesian ace Utut Adianto had no better than 13th place.

Indonesian hopeful young player, a high school student Darmayanti D Tamin, failed to win the event. She had to satisfy with runner up position to the champion Imasniti with 1.5 points cushion. The failure didn’t stop Darmayanti winning Women National Championship 1980 at Salatiga two months later.

Semarang II team won the event. The members of the team were Saiful Fajar, Yusuf Hermawan, Sutrisno, Sujatmoko, and Naning. This is the first batch of “one game only” events on IndonesiaBase. Please help to improve IndonesiaBase by donating some games.

Ardiansyah edged out Fabian Lumentut with better solkoff to grab number one spot. Defending champion Denny Juswanto found himself at 8th. The Indonesian first GM, Herman Suradiradja, was anonymous most of the time. Losing to unheralded players like Hengky Wijaya was simply unacceptable for a player of his stature.
