| To encourage decisive results there is a prize fund (maximum US$ 2,000) to be distributed at the end of the tournament among players of any rank defeating Grandmasters. The maximum prize per win is US$ 100 and if the number of wins exceeds 20, then those defeating GMs will receive a pro-rated share of the prize fund. Another US$ 200 will be given as the Best Game Prize. |
| Medals & certificates will be given to prize winners. The champion’s name will be engraved on the Dato’ Arthur Tan Challenge Trophy. |
| Participants are entitled to only one prize (the larger). Where prizes are the same value, the Open Section Prizes will take precedence over the Malaysian/Special Prizes. |
