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…

CLHS Open 2009
The just past CLHS Open 2009 was quite successful with >150 registered players and saw players like Ronnie Lim, Marcus Chan, Chuah Heng Meng, Tan Khai Boon and etc playing.
Sadly, I missed the tournament and might do so more often in future…
Congrats to CLHS!

4 Elo points
According to the FIDE tournament report, I am gaining 4 Elo points thanks to the Penang Heritage City International Chess Open. That will slightly increase my rating to 2101.

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?

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??
