During the years of 2000-2006 Denny Juswanto had been reaching the peak of his chess career. He won many national and international tournaments. He also registered two GM norms. This tournament was no exception for Juswanto. He practically won the tournament after edging out his nearest contender Susanto Megaranto in round 9th.

The newly wed Judit Polgar wrapped the tournament neatly to give herself a memorable present and another pinnacle in her career. Anatoly Karpov as seeded number one lost most of his sparks and desire to win. His three wins came from the four tail enders. The event produced one strange game when Ruben Gunawan agreed to draw in much better position against fellow Indonesian Utut Adianto Wahyuwidayat.

Edhi Handoko successfully defended his National Champion title from two years ago but it was not easy by all means. He had to suffer defeats in the hands of Iskandar Arif and Ronny Gunawan. This event also served as selection of Indonesian team’s members for Chess Olympiad 1980 at Malta.

Borislav (Bora) Kostić was a famous chess GM from Yugoslavia (now Serbia). During 1923–1926, Kostić had been traveling all over the world, producing plenty fine chess exhibitions, from Siberia to Australia. Indonesia was no exception.

A game from one of his exhibitions is presented here. The game is between him and HCD de Boeck. The event was held at Klaten, a small city in Central Java.

Born at Banjarmasin, 1951.12.05. Best rating 2465 (1991). National champion 1969, 1970, 1974, 1976. IM 1969. GM 1986.

The second Indonesian GM.

Many foreign media mistakenly write that abbreviation ‘H’ in front of his name as his first. ‘H’ is Haji, an honorary religious title for a Muslim. Some of them, such as ChessGames.com, have gone too far by writing his name as ‘Herman Ardiansyah’ which is certainly incorrect. They probably confuse him with Herman Suradiradja, another Indonesian GM. His name is simply Ardiansyah or Ardiansjah in Indonesian old spellings.

A prolific chess writer, the late Ds FKN Harahap, wrote that Ardiansyah was one of the best Indonesian chess player ever. The others were Tan Hoan Liong and Baris M Hutagalung. He possesses world class tactical skill and amazing fantasies but lack of understandings of the details of many modern-and-not-so-modern openings, sometimes-anti-positional approaches, and above all erratic forms prevent him to break 2500 rating barrier. His games in First Lady Cup 1982 probably best reflect the aforementioned.

Computers are becoming too strong, and too cruel, for their human counterpart. Even a player with Utut Adianto caliber couldn’t manage to register a point. The best Indonesian player was Taufik Halay with 1.0. Susanto Megaranto followed with half points. The computers whitewashed Tirta Chandra Purnama and Utut Adianto.

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 was at 13th place. Some pundits said at that time DKI Jakarta champion was much prestigious than the national title.
