The 2 Youngest have a birthday invite in Kota Damansara. Hence, eldest can play without too much of a "bruised ego". Thanks to Z initially and later H, The self-proclaimed manager ended up playing as well.

Event Report:
Eldest performed slightly better than previous Insofar's event in January held at AMPAC Shah Alam.

2nd Competition for me in 2013 after DCC Opening Day Blitz in February. Started 12th and finished 12th. Am relieved that I got 2 points.

However, it was pointed out that the points earned "DO NOT Count" as it was gained from "younger" opponents i.e. a Form 4 girl from KGV Seremban and a Standard 4 boy from S.K.TTDI...an assessment that I agreed with. The 3 other games that I'd lost was due to bad/poor positional play esp.putting the bishop in front of the pawn(R1 v. Ilham. Thanx for the post-game analysis Ilham), miscalculation (R4 v. Monir) and poor anticipation of a fork coming due to defense mentality (R5 v. M.Dhiya).

The view and mental state from a player's weltanschauung is definitely much much more different than a spectator's perspective. I strongly encourage Dad's to participate once in a while so that we have a sense of perspective when giving post-game/event comments to our kids.

A humorous occurence was that I was listed as "Best Veteran" and entitled to 2x RM50 vouchers...to which I respectfully decline as I did not fulfill the outlined criteria. Need to show some decency especially after the previous day "incident".
