Mark Siew in 16th position

In a field of 3 GMs, 4 IMs and many other titled players, Mark Siew’s current 16th postion after 5 rounds in the Singapore Open Tournament is impressive.

Mark Siew form is enjoying fantastic form considering how close he came to winning the National Junior Championship. Perhaps the relief of just completing his major exams removed some boundaries to this youthful talent

Edward is performing above his rating and scored his first win against much higher rated Singaporean FM Daniel Chan in Round 5.

With a total of 2/5 points in a field where Edward is one of the 7 players without a title, it is a respectable score. His current rank of 24th is good considering he was seeded on 31.
