Dennis' solo win in the 2017 Oktoberfest Open Chess Championship, along with his solo wins in the Arkadijs Strazdins Cup and the NBCC Championship in 2017, now makes Master Prawira only the fifth person in club history to have won or tied for first place in three or more classical time-controlled events in the same year. The only other persons to have attained this distinction were:
Arkadijs Strazdins (last time accomplished was in 1973)
James Bolton (last accomplished was in 1996)
FM Richard Bauer (last time accomplished was in 1999)
FM Nelson Castaneda (last time accomplished was in 2013)
