Penang Chess League R4
Round 4 pairings for PCL 08 is up. Play2Win is paired against Rebel 4. 
I lost to GM Bong Villamayor in round 3 and will be playing against Ian Udani. Seems like I am quite “successful” in playing all the Phillipinos in the tournament.
I am on 2/3. 1.5 away from 3.5/7. So I will need a 1.5/4 tomorrow. hehehe…

The Return of Play2Win
Yea~ finally decided to play in the upcoming 2008 Pesta Pulau Pinang Chess Open Tournament and the team name is still Play2Win!! This time however, we had some changes to the line up and members.
I am kind of on a suicidal mission to play on board 1 after staying away from any training/playing of chess for more than 2 months!! With few days to go, no Fritz/Chessbase installed and a few dateline to achieve, how will I do?
3.5/7? or 0/7??
