-------

Was in 2 minds as to whether to register for the Piala Tun Syed Zahiruddin or, 5th Kuantan Junior Masters (Details HERE).

Both events would be held on university grounds i.e. University Malaya(UM) and University Malaysia Pahang(UMP) respectively and would allow the kids some exposure to university environment as per their participation in NAG 2013@UTP,Tronoh-Perak. After all,my getting the kids to play chess is to not only enhance their strategic thinking and put in place a thought process which involves dealing with the consequences for each action taken but also to nudge them towards furthering their education up to university level.

Participation in the Kuantan Junior Masters would have allowed the Islamic Estate Planner to follow-up on a lead with a UMP couple and allowed me to visit an ailing friend suffering from kidney failure. On the other hand, UM is nearby the home...and a return to my alma matter would be less tiring and costly.

Nomination day media coverage and Eldest decision to participate in a BP Novice Debate competition at UiTM Shah Alam over the same weekend starting from Friday influenced the decision to register the newly-minted "1400 level" players for UM's event.
