CHESS BREAK, till 23 Feb.2013

The AMfa family (including Blogger) will be taking a break from all chess and chess-related activities until Saturday, 23rd February 2013.

After continuous participation since November 2012 starting with the Nf6 Challenger in TTDI-KL to 1st Summit Open@Subang Jaya, 18th Kepong Juniors, RSC Juniors@KL, Insofar Scholarship@Shah Alam and another RSC Juniors@Bukit Kiara in 2013 as well as participation in 3 FIDE-rated events i.e. 4th Penang Heritage City-Challenger Section, 5th NJCC & 2013 DCC Golden Special as a lead-up to NAG 2013@UTP-Tronoh, Perak....IT's Time that hAnA, the cHEss pIRATE and Ayah gets a well-deserved break to concentrate on academic and other Co-Curricular matters (for the kids) and for me, Book/Article/Script-writing as well as developing the newly set-up Islamic Finance Advisory business called QIBLAH CONSULTING.

This is especially so when the cHEss pIRATE said - , "...Faiz penat. Kalau Faiz think lagi, Faiz punye brain Akan jadi kecik!"..after the conclusion of the 3rd round at NAG 2013 when I queried him as to why he'd offered a draw whilst 2 Knights and a Pawn Up.



Next event will most probably be the advertised 15-rounds Blitz during DCC opening on Saturday, February 23rd.

Blog and Blogger will also be in hibernation till then...maybe I'll write a Summary Report on NAG 2013 for my own records/journal and Part 2 of Understanding Malaysian Chess Ratings as I'd promised Lim Tse Pin to do it after his email reply to my queries.


The only person that will be "active" is Captain Amira Fathina who will be involved in the MSSNS Inter-Zone chess championship in Negeri Sembilan.

See You All Again on 23 FEBRUARY 2013.
