PFS Open TMR
9 more hours before the start of the year 2008 edition of Penang Free School Open chess tournament. The online registration list at Chess.EuHong.NET has me as the highest rated player. Where is Khai Boon? Does he forget to register? I am not supposed to be the top seed as I am too lousy to be one and lately I had been involved with activities other than chess. My aim of now is to just enjoy playing some chess. 
Let’s hope I will not be the top seed later.

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!
