Venue: PCA, Seri Hartamas-KL
Tournament: MAY DAY Chess Challenge, 2012
The May Day Chess Challenge was organised by the Polgar Chess Academy(PCA) and held at PCA, Seri Hartamas-KL.
Amira Farhana and Amir Faiz took part in the competition.
AMIRA FARHANA
---------------------
Farhana started strongly by winning her 1st 3 Games before losing to a Boy(Aqif) from S.K.Bukit Bandar Raya in the 4th round. She recovered her composure slightly by edging a draw with another Boy in the Final Round.
Farhana secured 3 1/2points and was placed 9th out of 47 in the mixed U-9 category.
AMIR FAIZ
-------------
This is Faiz's second ever participation in any chess tournament...the FIRST being the NAG in March.
This time round watching him play was a bit easier on my heart and blood pressure...there were less incidences of forgetting to press the timer, NO draws being offered/accepted when he was in "the lead" just because he thought he had won by capturing the opponent's Queen (he lost 1/2point in the NAG due to this) & NO losing due to time constraint as a result of forgetting to press the timer (he lost 1point in the NAG due to this).
Faiz won 4points and was 6th Overall in the U-9 category. Who knows, if he had NOT "blundered" his pawn promotion he might even be in the Top 3. I will cherish the moment where he was "beaming" when Ms.Beverly announced him as the Youngest Player in the competition...PRICELESS!
Note: he would have won the U-7 category if he had entered the U-7 draw and would have also obtained a Consolation prize for being the YOUNGEST participant at 5years, 1month & 3 1/2weeks old.
