Tournaments are coming at Penang here throughout March to April, I am yet to see the details of the events but I am sure I am playing!!

Tragedy @ Chess
First of all congratulations to the winners at USM Team tournament 2010. My performance was disastrous scoring only 5/7 playing at the lower tables (mostly around table 10-20) and giving a free queen in the final round!!
No more excuses for myself. The only way to still continue to survive in chess is to start practising! It’s time to go home a draft out a training plan and throw away all my bad habits throughout last year…

Sadly, I missed the tournament and might do so more often in future…

Chess & EuHong?
Chess & EuHong? Yes. I have not been too active in chess lately. Played in the Union Open 2009 but generally my performance was terribly (final result was irrelevant as I got lucky :p )
Ok, after the Back To Japan incident, I should now be more focused since… well, is becoming a ”professional” chess player an option?
