Kudos to the Sarawak MSSM 2014 Organisers

Kudos to the Organisers of the Event. Great Job in organising the MSSM Chess.

Some Comments:-
Parent 1: Venue was good. Spectators can view the playing area from both sides of the stadium compared to previous editions in Taiping & KT.

Parent 2: They managed restroom breaks very well. No 2 players from the same team allowed to go to the restroom at the same time. Previously, this was not handled well......and suddenly after nature's break the player(s) become "stronger"

Day 4 & Final Day: Kejohanan Catur MSSM Kuching 2014

UPDATE 4:
Round 6 & Final Round started at 2.20PM.

Gold for KL's U-18 Boys & Girls Team.
All 4 U-15 & U-12 Boys & Girls Team have a fighting chance for Gold.

CP finally managed to win his first game on white in more than 40moves against his opponent from Sabah.

UPDATE 3 (9.22AM):
Just after the hour and in the U-12 Boys Individual event - Boards 1, 2, 10-12 & 14 are done. 9 boards still playing.

UPDATE 2 (8.50AM):
What's happening in the U-12 Boys Individual event?
Barely, half an hour into their games the 1st and 2nd board had already reported. Hopefully, it was not a case of 3-5moves checkmate.

UPDATE 1:
On the Day 2, everyone had to wait for the Kelantan team. Today, everyone had to wait for the KL Team as the bus arrived late at the GM Hotel. Bus only arrived around 7.45AM. Since transportation arrangements falls within the ambit of the organisers, the team was not duly worried. Morning round final day started at 8.19AM..


>>>>>>>
Today is the Fourth and Final Day of  the event.
2 rounds will be played today I.e. 8AM & 2PM. All players including officials are required to wear the MILO round-neck shirt given.

Prize-Giving & Closing ceremony will be held tomorrow.

Day 3: Kejohanan Catur MSSM Kuching 2014

UPDATE 3:
CP won on black against opponent from Putrajaya. Record thus far, 2Wins & 2Losses(50%).


UPDATE 2:
Round 4 began at 2.16PM.

All 6 KL teams won against their respective opponents. A repeat of yesterday's Round 2 performance.

UPDATE 1:
CP lost in 40+ moves to Naim from Melaka.
...with too much time on hand, decided to take a RM25 taxi ride back to GM Hotel to freshen up rather than stay and wait in the stadium for the next round.

Round 3 began at 8.19AM.

Target for this round is 22points.

>>>>>>>
After 2 days of only playing 1 round, Day 3 is the first day that 2 rounds will be played.
Apparently, only 1 round was played yesterday due to the fact that the nearby stadium will be used for a football encounter between Sarawak and Selangor.

Day 2: Kejohanan Catur MSSM Kuching 2014

UPDATE 1:
CP notched his maiden victory in the MSSM competition with a win in 50+ moves on black against his opponent from N9.

KL's target for today is 28points.
>>>>>>>
The day started with a rather heavy downpour. The Day 2 competition itself began slightly late I.e. 8.36AM.......apparently to wait for the Kelantan team to arrive.

Before the competition started, the organisers asked all present to stand and pay their respects to the passengers of the ill-fated flight MH370 which have been confirmed to have crash landed in the Indian Ocean based on the debris found and confirmed by the authorities.

Kejohanan Catur MSSM @Kuching-SARAWAK, Begins TODAY!

UPDATE 2:
KL "only" achieved 27points comparedd to 28points target set.
I supposed, CP is the main culprit!

UPDATE 1:
CP lost his maiden game in MSSM, on white against his opponent from Terengganu.

>>>>>>>
The Kejohanan Catur MSSM 2014 begins today at the Stadium Perpaduan in Kuching Sarawak.

After the ceremonial matters were done with I.e. national anthem, opening speech & first move
The event began just before 2.30PM...not bad at all for the 1st day of any event.
