GM Vladislav Tkachiev played two Indonesian players, GM Edhi Handoko and IM Andi Supardi Suhendra. The late Edhi Handoko belonged to the best players in Indonesia at that time. Andi Suhendra was a talented young player who won Asian Junior Championship 1992 at Dubai.
The match between Tkachiev and Handoko was a close encounter. Tkachiev swept the classical part but surprisingly he had to bow to Handoko in rapid. Tkachiev was (and still is) a world class expert in rapid or blitz games. In the end Tkachiev won the match with the slightest margin.
The other match, Tkachiev-Suhendra, had totally different story. The IM from Indonesia could not cope to the pressures on and off board. Suhendra clearly was not up for the task. He suffered a heavy loss. The match finished in Fischer alike score: 6-0 for Tkachiev.
Tkachiev played those matches during his visit to Indonesia to participate in Bank BNI GMs Tournament.
