Moulthun Ly at the World Open

Queensland junior Moulthun Ly, (or as I like to call him, "Merciless Ly") participated in the 2006 World Open tournament held recently in Philadelphia. He scored 6 points in total finishing in the top 100! An awesome showing.

Here are a couple of his games where he beat two American FIDE Masters.
