Sergei Tiviakov Juara Catur Terbuka Kinabalu Open 2015
Pecatur Indonesia Perkuat Posisi


Kota Kinabalu yang terletak di negara bagian Sabah Malaysia menggelar turnamen catur terbuka nya yang ke tiga kali. Turnamen Kinabalu Open Chess 2015 ini dimenangkan oleh pecatur Belanda Sergei Tiviakov. Tiviakov adalah salah satu dari empat grandmaster yang terjun di turnamen ini. Juara dua diraih GM Oliver Barbosa yang mempunyai elo rating cuma selisih 1 poin lebih tinggi dari Tiviakov.

Dengan jarak geografis yang cukup strategis dari Pontianak, sejumlah pecatur Kalbar juga turut serta menyemarakkan ajang ini. Hasil yang diperoleh juga bisa disebut berita gembira. Di kategori Open, Robert Sunaryo berhasil menyosok ke ranking ke-11 dengan nilai 6.5/9. Robert bertemu Tiviakov di babak pertama dan harus mengakui keunggulan lawan grandmaster ini. Walaupun kehilangan angka lagi melawan pecatur Filipina  Steward Manaog , Robert berhasil menjadi pengumpul nilai tertinggi delegasi Indonesia di ajang ini. Beberapa pecatur Indonesia seperti Irfan (Sintang) dan Sunardi Sadeli (Jakarta) ada di top 20, pak Sunardi ada di kategori best veteran. MN Hendra Supriyadi juga memetik hasil menarik, dengan nilai 5.5/9. Pak Hendra mengalahkan dua International Master di ajang ini.

Di kategori Junior, juara 1-3 diraih pecatur tuan rumah dan Filipina. Namun di urutan ke-4 adalah pecatur Kalbar Muliati Martalena disusul pecatur Indonesia Lutfi Imadudin. Di sepuluh besar tampak pula Marcel Davidson dan Nelson Lau di dalamnya, sementara Elioting ada di urutan ke-22. Sekitar 13 rombongan pecatur dan official Kalbar berangkat bersama-sama dari Pontianak ke Kinabalu.

Berikut notasi partai catur oleh-oleh dari Kinabalu. Di ronde 1, peringkat 11 Robert Sunaryo "pemanasan" bertemu grandmaster Sergei Tiviakov. Terinspirasi opening Petrov hasil bacaan di Yearbook analisa GM Richard Rapport, Robert pun mencoba keberuntungan dengan opening ini. Varian 6.f4 adalah yang diharapkan, namun sang GM bermain 6.d4,... "Hancurlah hatiku.." ujar Robert kepada penulis.
