WYCC 2009 - The 7th Round Results & 8th Round Pairings

The Malaysian contingent at WYCC 2009

( picture from the http://maswycc09.blogspot.com/ blog )

Below are the full result in Round 7 for the Malaysian contingent based on the wycc 2009 official website

U8 Open - Amier lost, De Juan won

U8 Girls - De Zen won

U10 Girls - Najiha won

U12 Open - Irfan lost

U12 Girls - Nabila lost, Camilia drew

U14 Open - Jianwen drew , Elgin lost

U14 Girls - Tjin Li drew

U16 - Sumant drew

It is a bit sad since both Malaysian best bets - Nabila and Amier, for title holders could not win their respective games. They need to put away such results, comeback and focus for the next round. Their hope is still there because there are four more rounds.

In the next critical round, Nabila will play black against a player from Greece, SEREFIDOU Despina, who is nearly 200 ELO lower at Table #7 while Amier will play white on Table #13 against Russian player, PRIPOLZIN Anton. Come on! YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN WIN!

It is a winning note for the Teh cousins - De Juan and De Zen in Under 8 sections and WFM Najiha. All of them are 4/7 after Round 7. Still a very commendable results.

In Round 8, De Juan will play black at Table #25. His opponent is from Iran - JANNESAR Rad. His cousin, De Zen will play white at Table #18 against ISMAYILZADA Zeynab from Azerbaijan. While in U10 Girls, WFM Nabila has a very good opportunity to win against her opponent, a Polish girl named DMOCHOWSKA Agnieszka who is rated 1568. DE JUAN, DE ZEN & NABILA, SHOW US MALAYSIANS YOUR CAPABILITY! WE KNOW YOU ALL CAN!

In U12 age groups, Irfan will play white at Table #60. He will face a Turkish player, CAN Melih Kaan. At Table #17, Camilia will compete against 1822-rated Indian player, SRIJA Seshadri. If she can draw with a 2000+ rated player, it is not impossible to win the game. GO IRFAN GO! GO CAMILIA GO!

In U14 section, Both Jianwen and Elgin with 3 points will face lower-rated opponents from UAE and South Africa respectively at Table #47 and #50. Jianwen will play white against AL ZAROONI Eisa while Elgin will play black against DU TOIT Stefan.

Tjin Li will play black against BOJC Dasa from Slovenia at Table #43. Her opponent's ratings is 1626. Take the opportunity to win against a rated player!

COME ON JIANWEN, ELGIN AND TJIN LI! MAKE YOUR COUNTRY AND PARENTS PROUD. AND ALSO MALAYSIAN CHESS FRATERNITY.

In U16 section, Sumant with 3 points will play black against THANAROTRUNG Ratchaphon from Thailand at Table #45. His opponent's ratings is about 300 ELO lower than Sumant's. Surely, you can win SUMANT. We at Malaysia will pray for all of you to win as many games as possible to get the best position. MALAYSIA BOLEH! AND SELAMAT BERJUANG!

WYCC 2009 - Day 7 (Free Day)

Today, Tuesday November 17, is the rest day for WYCC 2009. Yesterday the participants were busy playing two standard (90 minute + 30 seconds time control) chess games - Round 5 and Round 6.

For the Malaysian contingent, Nabila and Amier are leading the pack for the medal prospects. The Malaysian youngsters have played and fought hard all their rounds. The overall performance is superb and awesome. They need to keep up the efforts and focus on next games. Let's all of us the Malaysians pray and support the team for the proud of our country.

WCM Nur Nabila is currently in the third position after Round 6 trailing just half point behind the top two seeds - WFM Anna of Russia and WFM Sarasadat of Iran both with 2000+ ratings, in her U12G age group. Seeded 14th with 1847 ratings, she won her first four rounds before drawing both the fifth and sixth round games. Both games were shown live in WYCC 2009 official website.

In the next round of 7, Nabila will play white on Table #3 against a Moldovan player named BULMAGA Elena. On paper Nabila has the advantage since her ratings and seedings is higher than her opponent. But in chess, anything is possible. So, hopefully Nabila can win the important game to achieve her golden dream.

Her 7th round game will be shown live at http://web4.tsf.org.tr/ on Wednesday, November 18 at 9.00 pm Malaysian time.

Amier Hamzah who is playing in U8 Open section is another superb performer. He has yet lost a game. He won 3 games and drew the other 3. After Round 6, he is ranked number 15 with 4.5 points trailing just one point behind the leaders - the 2nd seed GHOLAMI Aryan of Iran and the 3rd seed SMIRNOV Anton of Australia.

In Round 7, Amier is paired against SANDOVAL Mercado Carlos of Mexico on Table #7. He will play white while his opponent will play black. Amier must win this game and the other four rounds in order to be at the top. Yeoh Li Tian managed to be placed fourth in the same age group two years ago also in Turkey. Hopefully, Amier can follow the suit.

As for the rest of the team, below are their final standings and points after Round 6:

• Teh De Juan - 3/6 66th of 129 players in U8 Open
• Teh De Zen - 3/6 36th of 85 players in U8 Girls
• Nur Najiha - 3 /6 40th of 83 players in U10 Girls

• Irfan - 2.5/6 103rd of 149 players in U12 Open
• Camilia - 3.5/6 40th of 108 players in U12 Girls
• Ho Tjin Li - 1.5/6 90th of 101 players in U14 Girls
• Jianwen - 2.5/6 89th of 138 players in U14 Open
• Elgin Lee - 3/6 79th of 138 players in U14 Open
• Sumant - 2.5/6 78th of 119 players in U16 Open

HAVE A GOOD REST DAY AND RELAXATION TO ALL MALAYSIAN PLAYERS. COME OUT FRESH AND MORE ENERGETIC IN THE FOLLOWING NEXT 5 ROUNDS.

MALAYSIA BOLEH!

BERHATI-HATI! BE CAREFUL!

GiLoCatur would like to alert all netizens especially the Malaysians out there regarding the scheme / scam like below to get your userid and password. It looks like real, original and authentic. As far as GiLoCatur knows and acknowledges, the provider of the service like gmail and maybank2u normally won't ask passwords from their users or account holders. They can get the passwords by themselves if they want because already in their database. Why should ask from account holders.

Besides, the mechanism to confirm the unused accounts is a bit funny. How many emails GMAIL will receive by this way if it is real? Normally, the provider will acquire their users' feedbacks or send notifications after the users logged in. So, BE ALERT. If you want verification, please contact or email the providers stated in their authentic websites.

WYCC 2009 - The Fourth Round

Bd 51, VAN RENSBURG Pierre from Rep South Africa vs Sumant (0 - 1)

Bd 50, Wong Jianwen vs AKUNOV Maskat (1 - 0)

Bd 33,JAWICH Amro from Libya vs Elgin Lee (1/2 - 1/2)

Bd 39, Ho Tjin Li vs KUEHNEL Lena from Germany (1/2 - 1/2)

Bd 66, ALHARARI Mohamed (LBA) vs Irfan (0 - 1)

Bd 4, HINCU OLGA from Moldova vs Nur Nabila (0 - 1)

Bd 16, BAGHIROVA Khatin Mohammad Qizi from Azerbaijan vs Camilia (1 - 0)

It is very unfortunate that Camilia can not cruise through with another win. But surely she had fought very hard since she was the last Malaysian player to come out from the tournament hall. Bravo for having such fighting spirit. Forget about it. Focus and concentrate on your next game, girl! Today is very challenging for having two games in one day. TAHNIAH and SYABAS for the Malaysian team for a wonderful Round 4 results. *(Monday morning, 16/11/2009, 8.45am)

Bd 20, Nur Najiha vs WFM LIAO Simone from USA (1 - 0)

Bd 16, GUTIERREZ Itandehui from Mexico vs Teh De Zen (0 - 1)

Bd 22, Teh De Juan vs ENKHTUNGALAG Tuvshintogs from Monggolia (0 - 1)

Bd 6, Amier vs SHENTOV Petar-Delian from Bulgaria (1/2 - 1/2)

So, going to the fifth round :

Amie Hamzah - 3 /4

Teh De Juan - 2/4

Teh De Zen - 3/4

Nur Najiha - 2.5 /4

Irfan - 1.5/4

Nur Nabila - 4/4 (perfect score!)

Camilia - 2/4

Ho Tjin Li - 1.5/4

Jianwen - 2/4

Elgin Lee - 2/4

Sumant - 2/4

Still a very superb performance from the Malaysian team. Beside Camilia's game result, the team only suffers 1 defeat. Well done, MALAYSIA!

Tomorrow is a grueling day. Because they will play two rounds - 10.00am and 5.00pm Turkey's time. 10.00 am = 4.00pm Malaysian time, 5.00pm = 11.00pm Malaysian time.

(note : the time difference is 6 hours)

GiLoCatur believes that Nabila's fifth round game will be on among live coverage at the official website because she will be playing on either one of the top three boards.
