NATIONAL RATINGS: October - December 2013

Latest National Ratings:-
hAnA, -103pts & The cHEss pIRATE, -137pts !!!


The OCTOBER - DECEMBER 2013 Malaysian National Chess ratings aka NR is available 1 day earlier than advertised i.e. 15th of every Quarter.

The NR is to be used for National-Rated competitions held in the 4th/Last 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 137 points and hAnA 103 points to 1215 & 1305 respectively.


COMMENTS:
There's a new registration code/reference in force.
hAnA's Reference No is MCR001310 and ranked 679 out of 3535 female players whilst CP's Reference No. is MCR 002184 and he's ranked No.6047 out of 10k male players.
My Reference No is - MCR 006923 and for doing "nothing" I'm ranked at No.3359 from around 10k players.

Under the column "Achievement since 1998"  the prefix NP(Jnr) is NOT indicated next to the kids name despite them taking part in the recent 9th ASIAN SCHOOLS CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP 2013 (9th ASCC 2013) in Sri Lanka and ON National Day i.e. 31st AUGUST some more (Read HERE). I wonder why? Perhaps the 9th ASCC  is NOT an event-sanctioned by MCF or the matter was inadvertently omitted by list-preparer.

AGAIN, participation in FIDE-rated open events causes the kids especially the CP to lose substantial points.
Examples:
AMBank Challenge 2013 - hAnA @ - 85.768 / CP @ -122.39
1st Kedah Open 2013 - hAnA @ - 16.177 / CP @ -111.24
5th NATIONAL JUNIORS 2012-hAnA @ - 30.439 / CP @ - 48.0
4th Penang Heritage 2012- hAnA @ - 35.175 / CP @ - 40.0
Nf6 Juniors 2012 - hAnA @ - 28.421



Based on the info gleaned from the October-December 2013 Ratings Report, the breakdown of the points secured are from 2 events i.e. AMBank  Open(FIDE-rated)  and The Swensen's Age Group Open held in August. Other events participated in were not included as they were not NR I.e. 1st SSTwo Mall Open (where Faiz emerged champion with a Perfect Record, read HERE) & Battle Chess SelangorKU II (Stress & Sauna event, read HERE ).

Details, as follows:-


The cHEss pIRATE (-138)
--------------------------------
-122.39    AMBank Open 2013 (FIDE-rated)
-  15.561  SWENSEN's AGE GROUP Open 2013

----------
-137.9

hAnA (- 103)
---------------
-  85.768   AMBank Open 2013 (FIDE-rated)
-  17.38     SWENSEN's AGE GROUP Open 2013

---------
- 103.1

Note 1: I am STILL 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:  Still missing is the results/points from the 2nd Smart Kids event held on the 1st of May 2013 which only the cHEss pIRATE had 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. 
Was hoping that Perhaps due to "technicalities" the results will only be reflected in this Quarter as per what happened previously to the results of the 2012 RSC Juniors Open & 2nd SK Sri Hartamas Age Group events. However, this is NOT the case. Another case of misrepresentation, I supposed!!??
