Jakarta –
Women Grand Masters (WGM) Irene Kharisma Sukandar going to have a duel with Levy Rozman alias GothamChess tonight. PB Percasi gives priority to Irene.
Irene’s chess duel with Levy will take place on Wednesday (31/3/2021) at 22.00. The match, titled Blitz battle, will be streamed on the Twitch.tv/GothamChess and Twitch.tv/irenesukandar accounts.
PB Percasi, through the Head of Percasi Achievement Development, Kristianus Liem, welcomed the match positively and predicted the duel would be lively. According to the International Chess Federation (FIDE) rating, Blitz Levy Rozman’s current rating is 2,376, while Irene’s rating is 2,313.
“They have the same title. Irene is already an International Master, only one level below the Grand Master. Si GothamChess Likewise, the rating is similar to 2,300 fewer, so I thought it would be interesting, “Kris told detikSport, Wednesday (31/3/2021).
Moreover, said Kris, the two international chess players had something to do with the virality of Dewa Kipas aka Dadang Subur yesterday. GothamChess is defeated by the Fan God, and accuses his opponent of cheating because he can win many consecutive wins. In total, the Fan God can win 26 times in a row and make his ranking soar.
On different occasions, Irene, who accused the fan god of being suspicious, finally met in a duel on Deddy Corbuzier’s Podcast. As a result, Irene won 3-0 against Dewa Kipas.
“Yes, definitely interesting. Many want to know and Irene has indeed started streaming recently. So this is usually a battle between two streamers. It only has to do with Indonesia, because Irene is an Indonesian chess player, so the spectacle will be crowded,” he said.
Then who is the superiority of PB Percasi?
“Because GothamChess I’ve lost up to seven people, one of them is a student aged 10-11 years, so I put Irene in favor. Because, he is quite stable and his training is regular, “Kris revealed.
“He also always follows the development of chess theory, watches when there are big matches, he also has passion and dedication so that his level is quite stable.”
Even so, Kris assessed that there is a factor of Irene’s weakness that must be anticipated in tonight’s duel. “Irene not used to playing while streaming. Still awkward. That’s the concentration of talking and playing, maybe that’s Irene’s lack. Meanwhile, GothamChess is commonplace, so it doesn’t really matter even though playing while talking. That’s what GothamChess is good at, ‘he explained.
“Technically, I’ve only seen GothamChess once, so the weaknesses and strengths I can’t describe. But the fight will definitely be tight and balanced,” Kris said.
