GM Benjamin Tan stunned the Serangoon Garden Chess Committe by withdrawing from the prestigious chess competition at the very last minute.
"Ben would not be appearing to grace the event", said former Fair Cup winner Karl Tigran Jankovik. His withdrawal is reported to be inspired by the neccessity to prepare for the 2010 Chess SuperBowl match against Alexis Migel. The Russian, who is widely expected to play against Benjamin Tan in the year's end RCI Cup Undisputed Champion added that his (Ben's) presence would be badly missed amist the tournament.
"The chess world wanted to see a good match between Benjamin Tan and Alexis Migel and Ben is doing his part to fulfil their wishes" added Mr Jankovik.
