UPDATE 3 @02/05:
A win for CP and drawn game for hAnA & I.
After 5 rounds, Still have not lost to a primary school kid...unlike Penang Open 2013.
UPDATE 2 @01/05:
Day of Action all round literally...on and off the table.
Driving to the venue for the 3rd Round, saw lots of people congregating near Dataran Merdeka for a rally/demonstration. Many were wearing red shirts with the wordings "Anti TPPA" and/or "Against GST" or both. As I drove by from BNM to Jalan Raja Laut, I estimate the crowd to be between 1-3k......but when I saw the helicopter above, I knew that the crowd is more than 10k.
Then there was the unfortunate incident to my opponent who fell down and knocked her jaws against the table. She was crying and complaining of pain and I'd wanted to stop the clock to give some time for her to recover but the arbiter said "continue as usual"....emmm...need to check with LTP what is the actual FIDE ruling on matters like this. After some time, seeing that she was still crying and complaining of pain - suggested a draw. (Mental Note: Next Time need to remind CP not to "lean" on chair and/or check chair's condition and/or stack the cair).
Good morning for CP and as for me after the 3rd round, some semblance of dignity is still intact as have still not lost to a primary school kid compared to last year's Penang Open.
UPDATE 1:
All lost their 1st Round match.
CP was grinning when my Queen was trapped....then he himself lost to a DC.
>>>>>>>
Had registered the kids for the 41st Selangor Open mainly as preparation for the ASEAN+ Age Group in early June which will be held in Macao. What a pity that there's not many classical events in Malaysia and that there's not a later classical event in Malaysia to prep. before AAG.
Reluctantly, will also be participating as part of a dare with CP.
The challenge was simply - " Ayah cakap banyak. You don't even play in any tournament & komen orang main. I win NAG, you have to play in Selangor Open ". Had agreed to the dare thinking he won't win....fortunately or unfortunately depending on whose perspective, he won! Am sure that fella wants to see me thrashed and humiliated so that i'll refrain from commenting further on his games as he was not happy with some comments I'd made during NAG especially on the untested opening which he'd never used before and still won. Grrrr......
Next time, I must give some thought before accepting any dare from CP.
