Thanks to En.Hamid Majid, CP will be playing in the 9th Malaysia Chess Challenge 2014 tomorrow. His second participation in this event after last year's 8th AMBank Challenge...but, that is only the short story.
The Long Story - Was supposed to go to the World Youth Chess Championship(WYCC 2014) in South Africa...again his 2nd participation in the WYCC after his debut last year in Al Ain-UAE and had even paid for both the lodgings(MCF) and flight tickets(Emirates). However, due to the ebola situation in Africa where there's a 50% mortality rate for persons infected and especially after it reached Nigeria the family decided against going.

POST). Hopefully, the refund from MCF & Emirates Airlines can come soon as it has been more than 3 weeks since we decided to cancel.
Having said the above, CP is not suppose to play in any chess competition till the end of year.
Reason being - as part of the incentive package for either finishing in the Top 3 or, not losing any game at the recent 10th Asian Schools C.C. in Taiwan (Read 29th August 2014 Blog
POST) he had asked that he not play in anymore chess competition till the end of year...UNLESS he feels like it or if there's a call-up. He will decide which event he wants to participate and all I need to do is show him the details of the particular event. An example of which he's agreeable to play in the Kepong Juniors U8 category despite my persuading him to play in the U12 or U10 event...still better than not playing at all I suppose.
Mr. Kumar had even offered to sponsor CP to be in his team for the ASTRO team event which was held from 12 to 13 September. CP had agreed but unfortunately, the dates clashed with some school activities from 9-12.
After some or rather much persuasion, managed to get him to play in the 9th Malaysia Chess
Challenge. However, other concessions were extracted in the bargaining process.
