JAKARTA - WIM Dewi Citra Ardhiani Anastasia (2211) confirmed that she contributed a gold medal for Indonesia in the women's standard chess for the 2021 SEA Games chess sport. Dewi got this achievement after a draw in the last round at the Quang Ninh Exhibition Center Building, Halong City, Vietnam, Sunday, May 15.

As reported by Antara, facing the Philippines chess player WGM Frayna Janelle Mae (2221), Dewi, with the black pieces and using Sicilian defense, agreed to draw in the 30th step.

The additional 0.5 points were enough for Dewi Citra to ensure that she won the gold medal because her position would not be displaced by her two closest competitors, GM Irine Kharisma Sukandar (2392) and host Vietnam chess player WGM Hoang Thi Bao Tram (2272).

Until this news was revealed Irine and Tram still had not finished the game in the ninth round.

Until the ninth round of standard chess numbers using a round-robin match system, Dewi Citra collected a total of 7.0 points. If Irine and Tram share the points, Dewi will not be displaced because she wins the first tie-break (TB1) head to head. Dewi Citra previously won from Irene in the first round and Tram in the fifth round.
