Participant's Thoughts, HERE


UPDATE 2:
Lots of interesting insights learned during the Seminar. Amongst which are:-
~ 3x Repetitive Move (which need NOT be in sequence);
~ Usage of 1 hand to move & press the timer;
~ the different variations of "touch move" rule.

Also interesting games such as a world champion taking the king after an illegal move.

Added with insights on chess development in neighboring countries like Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia & Myanmar...it was TIME & MONEY(RM150) Well Spent.


UPDATE 1:
After the simple opening ceremony and hearing the UTP song for the 1st time and of course "NEGARAKU", signed up for what was supposed to be aN info course for me in chess rules.

The course or seminar is held at the Undercroft Seminar Room 2 located at the basement.
Trainers for the course International Arbiter(IA) KK Chan and Peter Long.

I met Pn.Haslinda Ruslan and Puan Zuraihah Wazir during the recent RSC Juniors Open at RSC Bukit Kiara and decided to submit the forms for NAG 2013...amongst the rare occasions that I receive an official receipt for chess matters (other receipts received were from Polgar Chess Academy & Cerdik Catur Enterprise).
Whilst filling-up the forms conversation turned to the MCF National Arbiters Seminar.

Pn.Haslinda said that the MCF was organising a MCF National Arbiters Seminar which is to run concurrently with NAG 2013.
Initially, I was keen to attend but being "allergic" to exams and that I know "two hoots" about chess.


Yesterday, I spoke to Ben T.(another parent whose son is playing chess and had represented the Sentul zone) re the Arbiters Seminar.
