Kejohanan Catur Rapid Berpasukan (Jemputan) Sekolah Bawah 12 tahun 30/6/2012

After the secondary school event ended last week, now the event for primary school begins which is organised by Persatuan Catur Daerah Kuantan. The venue for the event is at SK St Thomas Kuantan.

There are 8 teams taking part in this event :
1. SK Batu Tiga A (the favourite of the event with their strongest line-up of Pahang and Kuantan district players)
2. SK Batu Tiga B
3. SK St Thomas
4. SK Tunku Azizah
5. SK Pelindung
6. SK Assunta Convent
7. SK Pekan Jaya (all the way from Pekan, Pahang)
8. SK (P) Methodist 

Special Thanks to SMK St Thomas!

Bagi pihak SCC dan PCDK, saya mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada pihak SMK St Thomas diatas penganjuran kejohanan berpasukan sekolah-sekolah yang pertama seumpamanya di Kuantan, dan terima kasih kerana menjemput saya untuk bantuan teknikal sepanjang kejohanan berlangsung!

Ibarat sudah pucuk dicita ulam mendatang bila SMK St Thomas bersetuju menganjurkan kejohanan yang telah lama saya impi untuk merealisasikannya. Dan tambah menarik apabila pihak Sekolah menguruskan 100% daripada jemputan hinggalah penajaan hadiah-hadiah dan sijil-sijil! Buat pertama kalinya saya cuma bertindak menjadi pengadil dan membekalkan peralatan. Dan siapa sangka, pihak sekolah berhasrat menjadikan kejohanan ini sebagai acara tahunan sekolah! (awesome!)

Pada ketika zaman persekolahan dulu, banyak sekolah di Kuantan menganjurkan pertandingan jemputan ke sekolah-sekolah lain, termasuklah sekolah saya sendiri pada ketika itu. Ada jemputan dari SABS, SEMSAS, SM Tanah Putih, SM Alor Akar dan banyak lagi! Namun apabila saya kembali ke arena catur, kemeriahan kejohanan di Sekolah telah tiada. Saya sentiasa berharap suatu hari nanti akan ada budaya kejohanan Catur seperti dizaman persekolahan saya dahulu. Dan yang menggembirakan hati saya adalah kesanggupan pihak SMK St Thomas memulakan langkah pertama ini!(mendoakan ada langkah kedua dari sekolah lain pula!)

Ucapan Terima Kasih dan tahniah kepada guru-guru terlibat terutamanya (Pn Khor, Pn Lee, Pn Rohana, Pn Maimunah dan lain-lain guru yang tidak tersebut namanya disini), kepada pelajar-pelajar yang membantu kejohanan (Fitri, Firul, Ng dan lain-lain yang tidak tersebut namanya disini), dan kepada para pemain SMK St Thomas yang bersungguh-sungguh berlatih untuk melakar sejarah manis yang pertama selaku Juara Kejohanan! (termasuk kesungguhan pemain pelapis Team B sekolah). Tahniah lagi sekali saya ucapkan!

Melaka International Challenge Section 2012

Congratulation to Asyraf Razman for his seventh placing in the Challenge Section!

Muhd Asyraf Razman vs Suci Rohaya (Indonesia)

It was an interesting endgame between Asyraf and Suci on Table 4 which ended in a draw. It was tricky to solve the game, so a draw is a satisfying decision made by both players. Good job Asyraf!

Historical Melaka Open & Challenger 2012

I am at Melaka on duty as the Deputy Arbiter here. I have been busy here (i brought along with me my office work), that is why i cant report anything from Melaka for viewers at home. But no worries there are other blog site that updates from every single round!

I am happy with our effort in making sure that the tournament is run smoothly, it is juz so awesome to have all the games in Open Section uploaded before the following round in the next day started, and top ten table from the Challenger section uploaded too.

Melaka Chief Minister - Dato Ali Rustam Officiated the Opening Ceremony of 750 Years Melaka International Chess Festival.

750 Years Melaka International Chess Open 2012

Saya berada di Melaka Bandaraya Bersejarah sekarang ini, kerana terlibat sebagai pengadil untuk pelbagai pertandingan. Pada masa entri ini ditulis kejohanan Rapid Campomanes dan Melaka Age-Group sedang berlangsung.

Saya akan berada sepanjang Festival berlangsung dari 20hb April - 1hb Mei nanti.

Saya sedikit terkilan kerana tiada wakil seorang pun pemain daripada Kuantan menyertai walaupun untuk kategori FIDE Rated - Challenge section. Dengan yuran yang pada saya berbaloi dan kesungguhan Kontijen Pekan untuk menyertai dengan pakej yang juga berbaloi (termasuk yuran, penginapan, makan 3 kali sehari, dan melancong pada hari rest day kejohanan). Jika alasan yang dikemukakan ialah ibubapa tidak dapat cuti, nah! sudah tentu pakej ini yang paling sesuai! Pada pendapat saya walaupun bermain di kategori Challenge, namun peluang berada bersama-sama pemain bertaraf GM dalam satu dewan yang sama, dan melihat sendiri bagaimana para GM membuat gerakan adalah peluang untuk membuka minda pencatur remaja Kuantan yang bakal bertarung di MSSM nanti!

(sigh)..
