With 3 more days to go before registration closes, a total of 38 players have already registered for the inaugural event. Some of the more prominent chess personalities that will be taking part in the event are IM Jimmy Liew, former National Champions Evan Timothy Capel and Lee Soi Hock, and veteran Ahmad Muzaffar.

Again as a reminder, if there are less than 64 player playing, the event will proceed directly to the Final Rounds which is scheduled on 24/25 October 2020. Even if the number of players exceeded 64, the organizer may still opt for the more direct and straightforward final should this is the more efficient mode.
