The cHEss pIRATE's winning streak in rapid events came to a grinding halt today during Round 4 of the 4th SWENSEN's AGE GROUP held at Cititel, Midvalley KL...streak ended at 17 winning games!

...and I think I'm partly to blame when I asked him to start noting his games. Both games which I'd asked him to note...he struggled and lost. I should have either ask him to start notations from Round 1 or ask him to forget about taking notes completely, NOT introduce something different halfway into the event! Well, LESSON Learnt!

In footballing terms there's Brazil and there's Germany.
Brazil is known for its flair and passion whilst Germany is better known for boring but methodical approach which grinds out results after 90minutes.
From my observation today, CP plays Rapid like the Blitz... without any inhibition and will move instinctively....more like Brazil.
Ask him to write his moves and he'll not be able to play like Germany with its system and calculation. He'll most likely struggle like the Malaysian team.
