Chess in EDUCATION, Seminar Attended.


Event INFO

In between the kids Rapid rounds 1-4, managed to attend a Seminar co-organised by the Kasparov Chess Foundation Asia-Pacific and Kasparov Chess Foundation Africa. The Seminar was titled " Chess in Education" with opening remarks by Garry Kasparov.

Other Malaysians spotted in the Seminar were MCF Deputy President Tg. Badlishah and Kasparov Foundation Executive Director IA Peter Long.

It was my 3rd attendance at such chess Seminars/Courses after attending the Arbiters course during NAG 2013 in UTP Tronoh-Perak and the International Organiser Seminar during WYCC 2013 at Al Ain-UAE.

Some interesting facts/observations were shared.
