of "ELEVATOR GAMES" & ratings.

RESULTS

The 2nd Piala YDP MPSJ held at the 3C Complex in Subang Jaya on Saturday will forever be known as "The Elevator Games" as 22 people were stuck in the lift prior to the start of the afternoon rounds. The 22 which consists of 11 adults and 11 children were stuck for around 30 minutes.

What many would not have noticed is that the organiser which normally uses their own ratings based on the harkness system(pre-ELO ratings) decided to use the FIDE rating instead of the NR to seed the players.

After being out of competitions for around 5 weeks (the last being the Term Break U14 Tournament, read blogPOST) , CP finished in his own often quoted words - "Nothing but Useless" 4th after 5 wins, a draw and a loss in 7 rounds of rapid play of 20 minutes each player. His prize was a nice plaque and RM80.
