3 Weeks Hibernation is OVER.

A week is a long time in politics....for chess players, 3-weeks in hibernation is like eternity.

After a 3-week hibernation ( Read HERE ), the kids are "awake" for another chess season. It is anticipated that the short season is from today till the end of MSSWP Chess event(s) in March.

First to be awakened is the eldest Amira Fathina - Being chosen to represent the Seremban Zone, she had to leave college by 7.30-8.00am to attend the Seremban Zone Centralised training at a School in Seremban which is just nearby to the site of her former college in Bukit Merbah. Apparently, 2 students from her college made it to the Seremban zone team I.e. Kak Lia(if I'm not mistaken) for the U-18 category and her (U-15 category).

Next to proceed to the "battlefront" is the normal trio of hAnA, the cHEss pIRATE and Ayah - attending the Opening Day Blitz at the newly renovated DCC at Wilayah Complex..

I consider the timing to be almost perfect as prep for hAnA's Bangsar Zone event starting on Monday at S.K.Seri Hartamas. So the prep for hAnA should be today's 15 rounds Speedy Gonzales Blitz, followed by the Selangor Juniors U-14 event the following day and finally the Bangsar Zone competition on Monday.
