Busy July

July is a busy chess month for me where I am involved directly or indirectly with 4 chess tournaments on 4 consecutive Sundays.

1st July: Penang Age Group Chess Championship 2007. I am way overage to play in the event as it was meant for those U16 only but I was there to help out…

8th July: Penang Closed Chess Championship 2007, Day 1. The objective of the event is to select Penang teams for the coming Merdeka Team Championship. There are high chances that I will not be able to go for the Merdeka event even if I finished top 3 because of annual leave issue. :(

15th July: 3rd CRC Taiping Chess Tournament. Never played in any chess tournament in Taiping before and Taiping is only 45~60 minutes drive from my house!! So this will be my debut in Taiping. :P Time control is only 20 minutes per player which will be some issue for me… Anyway, let’s enjoy the game not winning the tournament. :D

22th July: Penang Closed Chess Championship 2007, Day 2. Round 5, 6, 7 of Penang Closed event. There are currently less than 40 players registered (20070705 11:28 a.m.). Players not interested in playing for Penang in the Merdeka event? Interesting…

Busy life == meaningful life?! May be people will disagree on this but I am those that like to make myself busy and cannot content to live without doing anything. :D Well, meaningful or not, time will tell, at least for now I prevent “Evil dwell within empty mind”…

Let’s wish everyone playing in these tournaments good luck.
