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?

My Chess @ 2009 ~ II
Previously I mentioned about playing in at least 1 FIDE rated event this year but the situation now looks like I will get to play in none. However, in return more time is now available for preparation at home!!
Opening renovation and books reading can now be done at a faster pace. Let’s hope the situation will change soon.
So the plan for now is read more, practice more, and play weekend tournaments.
May the force be with me~

Sad
It is sad to see that the locals do not appreciate the free service at Chess.EuHong.NET to ease the players to book their place in a tournaments by just a few clicks. Some how, people always try to register fake names…
FOC is never appreciated??

My Chess @ 2009
2008 saw a decreasing number of tournaments played by me compared to 2007 especially toward the second half of the year.
It is now 7 days into 2009. Let’s make a wish list instead of to do list for my chess. Wahaha…
- Participate in more than 1 FIDE rated events. Still considering whether going for Thailand Open or not… There are some possibilities of end up playing 0 event.
- Improve my play… Improvise some training plan? Practice more, read more, and play online?
- Revamp some opening!
Ok, wish is wish, action is action… chess must sometimes give way…
Life…
Happy New Year!!
