Inconsistent tournament play
Still suffering from inconsistent performance during tournament as in the UniKL tournament yesterday. Hmm.. 7/9 was not enough to finished top10.. the 2 loses were resulted from self-committed error…
How to improve???

Blitz
I had just brought up the courage to register myself for the PCA-MSNPP Blitz Tournament this Sunday (16th Dec). Since I cannot play blitz, my objective is to get 4.5/9 although the more the merrier…
May the force be with me

GP Finale: Performance Review
PCA Grand Prix Open Final was concluded on Sunday with Tan Khai Boon finishing first. Overall my performance was not the best. I started as the third seed (according to the best of 2 GP points) but only managed to finish at sixth.
I hadn’t had time to analyse those games but let’s look at some overview of my round by round review.

1 move blunder
I lost to Evan Timothy at both PCA Grand Prix Open 1st Leg and 2nd Leg.
GP1 was a blunder in an inferior position. But at GP2, I got following position as Black.
Black was a healthy pawn up and after some nice play in the middle game. Now instead of …Nc2, I played Bxe5?? and my position collapse in a few moves thanks to all the dark square weaknesses and a few minutes left on my clock.
Luckily Evan was not available for GP3 as he was playing in the ASEAN Youth event otherwise I might get hat trick loses against him!

I beat a World Champion!!
Do you read me wrong? No, I had beaten a world champion. Indeed, during Merdeka Open 2007. He is none others than the former world police champion, Ismail Ahmad.
Not a very interesting game though but here is the game. The annotation was done with the help of Fritz. Have fun.
