RSC OPEN JUNIORS 2013 @ Bukit Kiara

EVENT SUMMARY
-------------

hAnA played true to ratings again and ended the event with 4wins. She placed joint 13 on points in the U-11 category and placed 21st after the tie-break. She'd miscalculated her position in 2 losing games. She needs to be less impulsive in her moves to avoid miscalculating/blinders.

The cHEss pIRATE also played true to ratings and managed to draw with the 5th seed rated 192points higher than him at 1381 in the last round. His performance report from the event reads - 3 Wins, 2 Draws & 2 Losses. Results Could have been slightly better if he had not stalemated after Queen Promotion...which led me to lose my cool.
He received a RM50 book voucher as consolation prize after being named as the 'Best' in the U-8 category. He is also the Youngest Player in the event.

In terms of the competition itself there are a few comments to be made namely on
Clock, Arbiter & Food.

Arrived around 8.30am. Only tables were set up, chess sets and timers were not on the table yet but things moved fast after that.
1st Round started at 9.20am...though late as 9am was the advertised time but can be considered good by Malaysian standards considering a 30minute delay(based on a conversation with a parent during 2nd SKSH Open-2012) is quite OK.

hAnA is the 22nd seed, whilst the cHEss pIRATE is the 24th seed.

>>>>>>>

Just made payment of RM60(30@12.33pm & 30@12.34pm) at the MBB Damansara Heights branch into Jax Tham account and registered the kids via sms(013-3232280) for the RSC Open Juniors Chess Tournament 2013 at Bukit Kiara to be held this Sunday.

As advertised, RSC Open Juniors is a NR event. hAnA will be taking part in U-11 age group whilst the cHEss pIRATE will be challenging in the U-9 category. Further event details, HERE

FIRST chess event for the kids in 2013, hope they do well...at the very least should be good prep. for them prior to NAG 2013 at Tronoh. Hopefully, there's no change in tournament venue to RSC Dataran Merdeka as per previous.
