May 06, 2007

Four Singaporean players won four Cambodian counterparts by 20:12 on Saturday in a Chinese chess friendship competition hosted by the Cambodia Chess Federation (CCF).

The Cambodian players want to view the competition as an opportunity for them to learn experience and join the world in the field of chess playing, said CCF President Ly Huot. The CCF is the sponsor of the one-day game against Singapore's Beidou Chinese Chess Club.

Goh Thian Lye, head of the Beidou delegation, said that the game aims to help the Cambodian players improve their skills and CCF enter international chess organizations.

The players conducted four rounds of races. Each player held one race with all the four ones from the other side.

The Singaporean delegation arrived here on Friday on a three- day visit at the invitation of CCF.
