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?

However, in return more time is now available for preparation at home!!

Opening renovation and books reading can now be done at a faster pace. Let’s hope the situation will change soon.

So the plan for now is read more, practice more, and play weekend tournaments.

May the force be with me~

Some how, people always try to register fake names…

FOC is never appreciated?? :(

It is now 7 days into 2009. Let’s make a wish list instead of to do list for my chess. Wahaha…

  1. Participate in more than 1 FIDE rated events. Still considering whether going for Thailand Open or not… There are some possibilities of end up playing 0 event.
  2. Improve my play… Improvise some training plan? Practice more, read more, and play online?
  3. Revamp some opening!

Ok, wish is wish, action is action… chess must sometimes give way… :(

Life…

Happy New Year!!
