MidNight Run for KL Juniors 2014, U-18 @Jalan Duta-KL

UPDATE 4:
CP finished on 4pts out of a possible 8 in this 8-round event with a time control of 15minutes per player. His final position is 32nd out of 67players...a mid-field finish in this U-18 event.
IF memory serves me right, this was a "perfect" win-lose competiton for him i.e. his win-lose comes in alternate rounds...winning against Un-Rated Players and losing against rated players higher than his 1201NR.

It was also announced that CP made the KL team for the MSSM Chess competition which will be held in Kuching-SARAWAK during the March school holidays i.e. 24-28 March... equaling the achievement of another KLite who represented KL whilst in Standard 1, a few years back. Oblivious to the announcement by Cikgu Suhairi, CP's only thoughts were - " Ayah, How Much Computer Time Do I Get with 4 points?"


UPDATE 3:
R7: B20. W v. Ng Jia Lerk(UR-4pts@40th). WON
R8: B14. B v. Jarell Cheong(1308-5pts@21st). lost

Had intended to spend the weekend in Melaka for eldest's PPM English Debate competition where she's the Whip aka 3rd Speaker. However, was informed via SMS that the KL Juniors will be held today and that the Pengarah wanted to see all KL Players as well.

As such, we had to no choice and had to make a Midnight Run from Melaka to KL to ensure CP can participate and is well rested at the same time. Good thing that traffic was smooth and arrived in KL around 1-2AM and just as important is to catch the news on the "ill-fated" MH370 which were what the crowd in Melaka was talking about most of the time in between the debate and debate prep.

A pleasant surprise is that the venue is much, much better than previous years....air-conditioned hall with a canteen which is opened as well coupled with clean restrooms with running water and surau for the Muslims. There were 33 boards or so in the boys section  and around 13 boards in the Girls Section.
