Latest National Ratings:-
hAnA, -5pts & The cHEss pIRATE, -80pts !!!


The JULY - SEPTEMBER 2013 Malaysian National Chess ratings aka NR is available 1 day earlier than advertised.

The NR is to be used for National-Rated competitions held in the 3rd Quarter of 2013 in Malaysia.

Details, can be seen HERE

Both, The cHEss pIRATE and hAnA had moved south i.e. CP by a massive 80points and hAnA 5 points to 1353 & 1408 respectively.


COMMENTS:
"Balance" is restored as I'd always believed that till now, hAnA is the better player than CP.

Based on the info gleaned from the July-September 2013 Ratings Report, the breakdown of the points secured are from 2 events i.e. 1st Kedah Rapid Open(FIDE-rated) in April and 2nd The Summit Juniors Open held on the last day of June. 2 other events participated in were not included as they were not NR I.e. Piala Tun Syed Zahiruddin(UM Open)& 3rd MBPJ Open. Details, as follows:-


The cHEss pIRATE (-80)
-----------------------------
-111.24     1st KEDAH RAPID Open 2013 (FIDE-rated)
31.4729    2nd THE SUMMIT JUNIORS Open 2013

-------
- 79.8
======

hAnA (- 5)
------------
-16.177    1st KEDAH RAPID Open 2013
11.0886    2nd THE SUMMIT JUNIORS Open 2013

-------
- 5.1
======

Note 1: I am curious as to why the Results for the 1st Kedah Blitz Open event which is also a FIDE-rated event is not factored into the calculation of one's NR???

Note 2: Only half a point separated hAnA & the CP in the 1st Kedah Rapid but their points loss, in my opinion is rather extreme.
hAnA finished with 3.5 points and lost 16 points from the event whilst Faiz...finishing half a point back i.e. at 3 points, lost a massive 111 points in the event.

Note 3: Also missing is the results/points from the 2nd Smart Kids event held on the 1st of May 2013 which only the CP participated. Read HERE
The organisers had publicised that the event will be a National Rated event. (Read HERE). Wonder what happened which resulted in the organisers NOT fulfilling their promise. Perhaps due to "technicalities" the results will only be reflected in the next quarter as per what happened previously to the results of the 2012 RSC Juniors Open & 2nd SK Sri Hartamas Age Group events.
