2013 MSSWP Chess Inter-Zone/State Finals, Begins TODAY!


INDIVIDUAL COMPETITION @ (06/03 - 08/03)
--------------------------------
hAnA finished FIFTH overall in the Individual competition Despite winning her final round encounter on Board 4. I've been made to understand that the 2nd to 5th placed player finished on equal points I.e.5points, but the tie-breaker decided their respective position. Hopefully, the official results can be released soon.

The final standings for the MSSWP KL U-12 Girls Individual competition are as follows:-
1st: Mok - SKBD, 6pts
2nd: Melanie - SK J.Davidson, 5pts
3rd: Ho, 5pts
4th: Nazirah, 5pts
5TH: AMIRA FARHANA - S.K.TTDI 1, 5 POINTS
6th: Ayesha - SKBD, 4.5pts

The MP for the area and former KL Minister Dato Zulhasnan Rafique gave away the prizes and said he'll help look into the possibility of getting air-conds for the hall.

...am hoping that hAnA's performance of finishing fifth in the MSSWP KL State Finals & Runners-Up in the MSSWP Bangsar Zone competition is enough to earn hAnA a call-up to the KL Team for March's MSSM Chess Competition in Taiping, Perak. Now, it's back to the books over the weekend as her school exams begins next week on Monday.


UPDATE 4 @08/03
Status: 5 WINS & 1 LOSS.
Round 6 & Final Round: Bd.4, v. Sofea, WON

Crunch time for hAnA this morning in the final round encounter. WIN and she has a chance to finish in the Top 5 or 6...and with it the chance and a strong case to be selected for this year's KL Team. Lose...and i'll start the physical activities(e.g.Tae Kwan Do, Badminton & Swimming) planned for 2Q early as she won't be making the trip to Perak during March's school holidays.

The MSSWP State-Level Individual Chess competition begins today.
hAnA will be taking part in the U-12 category. "ALL THE BEST hAnA!"
Am hoping she does well in her event but my concern is she's not that prepared due to her playing position in the Team Event.

Was hoping to send the cHEss pIRATE to participate as well I.e. In the U-8 Category. Unfortunately, my appeal was turned down despite the support of the school teachers. Guess need to look for "paid" competitions to further expose him.

The 2013 MSSWP State Finals (Inter Zone) Competition begins today.
The Juniors or Primary School event takes place at the same venue as last year I.e. S.K.Desa Tun Hussein Onn, KL.

Today till tomorrow will be the Team Event.
Individual competition will be from Wednesday - Friday.
hAnA is already complaining that she'll be bored and lonely from Wednesday onwards as none of her school gang made it to the individual event. (Note: Last year the top 15 was chosen to represent Bangsar Zone. This year, it seemed only the Top 12 in the individual event made it.)

All the best hAnA, I'll try to drop by the venue if I can 'adjust' meeting up with some old army buddies.
