16th ASEAN+ Age Group 2015 - Overall a Disappointing Trip but Still Some Glimmer of Hope

OVERALL Summary
Vietnam, P13 - W7 D1 L5 (57.69%)
Philippines, P4 - W1 L3(25%)
Mongolia, P1 - L1 (0%)
India, P1 - D1 (50%)
Singapore, P6 - W6 (100%)

CLASSICAL Summary
Vietnam, P4 - W2 L2
Philippines, P2 - L2
India, P1 - D1
Singapore, P2 -  W2

RAPID Summary
Vietnam, P4 - W2 D1 L1
Mongolia, P1 - L1
Singapore, P2 - W2  

BLITZ Summary
Vietnam, P5 - W3 L2
Philippines, P2 - W1 L1
Singapore, P2 - W2 


Placing 29th in Classical(4.5pts placed from 28th to 30th), 13th in Rapid(4.5pts placed from 12th to 15th) and 12th in Blitz (6pts placed 6th to 12th) out of 58, 55 and 53 players respectively is a disappointing result for CP.
Looking at the points earned in classical event CP only met his first and perhaps easiest KPI of 50% and 2 other "minor" pre-determined KPI's out of 8.

The 3 out of 8 KPI's achieved are as follows:-
Major KPI
(1) 50% score for the Classical, Rapid & Blitz events (Minimum Major KPI No.4)
( Classical, 4.5/9 @50% / Rapid, 4.5/7 @64.29% / Blitz, 6/9@66.67% ).

Minor KPIs
(2) 50% score against Vietnamese players
= Played(P) 13 - Win(W)7,  Draw(D) 1, Lost(L) 5 @57.69%
( Compared to  2014 Macau's ASEAN+ = P9 - W0 D1 L8 @ 5.56%);

(3) 75% score against Singaporeans = P6 - W6 @100%.
( Compared to 2014 ASEAN+ Age Group C.C. = P5 - W3 D1 L1 @ 70%
& Won against Singapore's Top Player).


However, there's still a glimpse of hope based on his blitz score where he earned 6 hard-fought points, 3 of which were against Vietnamese and 1 against a Pinoy player, and placed 12th from 53 players.For me, his blitz results against GM(s)-trained Vietnamese and Pinoy players as well as "structured" Singaporean U8s indicates that the talent is still there but foundation gaps are appearing and would require a lot of hard work in addition to interest in order to rectify it.
