The One That Got Away!!? - 4th SWENSEN's Girls U-12

IF not for a FATAL mistake committed by hAnA during her last game, she could have emerged Champion of the Girls U-12 event on Tie-Break and in the process added a 2nd title to her name after her 1st title i.e. Catur Beliawanis which she won in Shah Alam earlier this year (Read HERE)

Unfortunately, it was not to be!

Her brother did the same mistake against Mukhriez in the Selangor Juniors.

I hope both of them learned from this 'lapse of judgement' and won't EVER repeat this mistake in their playing career!

At the same time, in allowing hAnA to NOT record her game when she had done so in the earlier rounds - IT MIGHT have contributed to her committing the error as in recording her game, she might had just taken an additional moment to reflect and she might have been able to see the error of her way!

Note: Compare hAnA's NOT recording her move to the CP being asked to record his moves mid-way into the competition. ( Read the next blog posting! HERE ).
