Round 2: Delayed by traffic and turned-up almost 10 minutes late.
hAnA was putting up a good fight against the higher-ranked veteran though a pawn down. In her eagerness to checkmate, blundered the Queen.
CP surrendered when nothing was left in the game and facing opponents numerical pawn advancement.

Round 1 was all over in 30minutes. As usual the CP finished early.

Latest Players List, HERE

19 Players have confirmed participation.
Initially, was hoping for a "weaker" field so that both kids do not become a "punching bag". However, with NAG 2013 around the corner, this event would serve as a good prior "warm-up".

Registered hAnA and The cHEss pIRATE for the DTCC Golden Special event taking place 24-28 Jan.2013 via email to NW yesterday. List of Players, HERE.

If all goes according to plan, this would be the 1st FIDE-rated event for 2013 and 2nd competition after the RSC Selangor Juniors Open on Sunday, 20th January 2013 at Kiara.
Should be a good warm-up for the kids prior to NAG 2013 at UTP, Tronoh - Perak.
At the same time, will be keeping an eye on the Players List before deciding whether Faiz should actually be taking part or not in the DTCC Golden Special as I do not want him to be a punching bag.

At the same time, I am getting bored of baby-sitting duties during competitions. Hence, was seriously considering taking part in this event myself. Alas, an event in Lumut, Perak on the 27th called HIKMAH 3 will only see me being able to play 4...or, 5 rounds at most.
