( GP3 Venue - Gymnasium 3 MSN )
( GA Fencers & Coaches. As per normal CP focusing on something else )
( Starting Players' List for FOIL - KL, PP and at least 3 to 5 other clubs )
( CP in Pool 8 which began around 10.30AM)
( Ordered Ranking after Round Robin Pools. CP ranked 42nd )
( Last 64/32 Elimination Rounds )
At 8, CP and his GA team mate are the Youngest foilers in the competition. CP's accumulated 8points out of a possible 20 over 5 rounds of 2 minutes each is not too shabby, only 1 trouncing losing 0-4. Despite the opposition's strength and experience, lo and behold both managed to avoid finishing last mainly due to 'flashes off techniques used'. There were a few 9-year olds, many in standard 4 while most of the competitors are either 12 or 11-year olds. CP needs to improve especially on his strength and stamina. As expected, he'd lost out during physical contacts.
Hope the experience gained can be put to good use for future national events. Comparing this and CP's debut in his first national event in chess (apart from NAG) i.e. during the NJCC in 2012 or 2013 at Wilayah Complex-KL, ranking wise he did relatively better...his name was even on the first ordered ranking sheet rather than the next!
