NCC 2010 - Round 5 updates
Alia lost! Fong Mi Yen got her revenge this time around. Will there be a new champ this year? more NWM will be produce perhaps?
Nabil and Loo drew their game, same as Fadzil Nayan, Edward Lee also drew their game. This lead to Nabil being a sole leader with half point lead. Kamal Ariffin drew his game today with Izz while Khair did it again! losing a game that he is not supposed to! he lost to Tariq Amru.

the official site
Above is the official site, in case if the readers wants to read more, photos, games and news all are there.
Its going to be an intense battle in the women section as Fong Mi Yen vs NWM Alia. I think the winner of this round shall be the NCC champ (shall I say that?). Based on the current strength I think Alia is much better, but surely Mi Yen wants the revenge for her defeat in Semi-Final of Malaysian Women Master earlier this year.
In the Open section - Surprise Nabil is the only sole leader with 4 points so far. But 8 players followed closely behind with 3.5 points. Among them are Edward Lee, Fadzil Nayan, Li Tian, Saprin, Khair, Tariq Amru, and Tan Jun Fen.

Sad News at NCC 2010
Found out this morning, Cikgu Fuad, father of Muhd Sirajuddin and Fairuz Hamizah the young chess prodigy from Kulim Kedah, was under stroke attack last night. Fairuz was crying during her morning game, coz they both stay in hostel separately, therefore she only found out this morning.
The last time I heard he is in a critical condition and admitted at Hospital Serdang. I juz hope he is ok... Lets all pray everything is ok.

Subic and MSSM 2010
At this current point, the heat of chess is everywhere! I am supposed to help Haslindah blogging info for ASEAN Age Group currently held in Subic, Phillipines. She did send pictures to me, but I am too busy finishing up so many things before I left for National Closed next week and attending courses in KL right after the tourney (hectic! yeah..). But to honour the promise, I'll post the picture soon.
In Subic, Malaysia is represented by NM Edward Lee, NJM Tariq Amru and Mark Siew in U-20 Boys. Lim Win Sen is our sole rep in U-14, Amier Hamzah in U-10B, Muhd Faqih Aminuddin in U-8B, Nur Faqihan Aminuddin in U-10G, and Zainoor Ikmal Maisarah Noor Akbar in the U-8G category. The chef de mission is Puan Haslindah while Mr Raymond Siew acted as the Mind Coach for the contingent.
Current standings after round 5 : U-20 B - Edward Lee - 4th (3.5 points), Tariq Amru - 22nd (2 points), Mark Siew - 30th (1 point).
U-14 B - Lim Win Sen,
U-10B - Amier Hamzah,
U-8B - Muhd Faqih,
U-10G - Nur Faqihah,
U-8G - Zainoor Maisarah,
More info and news you can follow hairulov and fireyrook
While on MSSM news, it is really hard to get the updates. I did browse thru mssm2010 (thanks Mr Gilocatur for the updates), but it seems the internet connection is slow making it hard for him to update further. This is the report on Pahang contingent as reported by Cikgu Syed Roslie via sms:
After round 4, U-18B Sumant - 2.5 points, Khairilhelmi - 3 points
U-18G Izatul - 3 points
U-15G Sarika - 3 points
U-12B Shreyes - 3 points
Pahang under age teams seems to be at a slow pace currently. Lets just hope they will catch up with better placing later on.
It is too early too tell who will crown this year MSSM champ, but some players did show the domination in his/her category, for the names like Yeoh Li Tian (U-12B), Nur Najiha (U-12G),Nur Nabila, Amira Syahmina (U-15G), Alia Anin Azwa (U-18G). In Team events, for some category, it looks like KL and Selangor is very much likely hold the title again.
All the best to Pahang players!

MSSM 2010
MSSM 2010 starts today until 11th June at Putra Palace, Kangar Perlis. I am still waiting if i can find/read any updates on that, I juz hope we have bloggers there reporting the event.
What i want to share with the readers is that, I just found out that the MSSPahang contingent left to Perlis yesterday at 1pm! imagine what time will they arrive at Perlis? During my years of staying at Perlis, it took me 12 hours to go there from Kuantan. Today, it may take less than that, but still it is a long and tired journey to the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia!
The game starts at 3pm today, and I do hope the players have enough rest before the game start. As a player myself first round is an important round, as the the first round score gives you the implication whether you are ready for the tournament or not.
Nonetheless, I wish all the best to the squad 2010!
