UPDATE 2:
End of Day 2; not to be 4 hAnA - body not holding up. Unable to recover from 1st day.
CP...." dok cari penyakit", swinging here and there to his detriment! Performance wise, could be better!

UPDATE 1:

The 2014 National Age Group Chess Championship commonly referred to as NAG 2014, begins today at UNITEN Bangi.

As per last year, the carrot dangled is that Top 4 finishers will be the official representative for Malaysia in Age Group competitions overseas. For most parents this will not mean much as they still have to pay for their own fare in overseas competitions, a case in point is the ASEAN Age Group. However, in certain competitions like the Asian Schools or the World Youth C.C. 1 official representative from each country will be given FOC Accommodation and food sponsored by the organisers.

If not for NAG, I would not have any reason to go to UNITEN and was pleasantly surprised with the campus layout and the view from the hotel room. Due to work commitments namely a VIP interview slotted much earlier, had decided to stay at the hotel a day earlier and was glad that it was a good decision due to the hotel being fully booked.

All the Best to all players.

( As per normal, Despite being at Board 1...His focus were elsewhere )
