GiLoCatur received the following email from Encik Latiff regarding a chess tournament to be organized by MMU Malacca. So, book the dates for a nice travel to Bukit Beruang, Malacca for the quality tournament on 6th and 7th February.
Good news MMU Malacca Campus is organising a International Chess Event 2010 on the 6 and 7 Febuary 2010 on same format of 2009 event.asking all bloggers to make this announcement.. Details and further info should be avaliable by weekend. Thank You. Sifu Latiff
GiLoCatur and the kids did participate in the 2008 edition held on 26th and 27th April. But we could not join in the 2009 edition which was held on 28th February and 1st March. Hopefully, this year edition we can participate. GiLoCatur actually likes the time format of G/45, which is 45 minute time-control.
GiLoCatur would like to share the games during the 2008 edition. Looking back at the games, GiLoCatur was basically blunder-prone. During that time, GiLoCatur had MCF / National ratings of 902. But GiLoCatur managed to win against a 1400 rating U12 player. :)-

MMU International Open (1.22), 26.04.2008

GiLoCatur : Rb1? on the 9th move followed by Qe1? what a blunder. The idea for Rb1 is Nc5 if not mistaken. h3 is also ok. Then 12.Qd1? A bad move. Qe3 or Kh1 should be better. Then, the rest was history. The opponent is from UIA chess team. His latest MCF ratings is 1649. He played in the recent GACC varsity team which his team won the third place.

GiLoCatur : In this game, GiLoCatur was aggressive from the beginning. When white moved 25.Ka3, GiLoCatur missed mate in 2, Qa6+ 26.Kb4 Nd3#. But nevermind, GiLoCatur won finally. LOL!
Saleh Bin Abd Latif (902) - Ahmad Azri Bin Ahmad [D37]

GiLoCatur : In this game, GiLoCatur maintained the aggressiveness. GiLoCatur believes that the turning point in this game is 13.Qxd6, exchanging the Queen. Another thing, the opponent did not castle to put the King into safety first. It was opened for the attack especially both white rooks are active.
Saleh Bin Abd Latif (902) - Alia Anin Azwa Bakri (1669) [C00]
MMU International Open (4.18), 27.04.2008

GiLoCatur : This game was the toughest as GiLoCatur faced the highest-rated GiLoCatur's opponents in the tournament. GiLoCatur felt to the black's trap after she moved dxe4. She exchanged the Queen and went for pawn endgame which GiLoCatur still yet mastered.
Saleh Bin Abd Latif (902) - Muhd Norhazman Arif M Nordin (1420) [C00]

GiLoCatur : In this game, once again GiLoCatur felt to the early stage Queen exchange trap which resulted in not able to make castling. But luckily, GiLoCatur escaped defeat. GiLoCatur managed to have a passed pawn.

GiLoCatur : In this game, GiLoCatur tried to be aggressive again. But blundered away one piece i.e. knight. 9. .. Ba5? f5 maybe or Nxc3. When white moved 18. Ne2, GiLoCatur blundered away another knight. What a blunder-prone game! What GiLoCatur can observe is the opponent had capitalized his two bishops. Nothing GiLoCatur can do when down with two pieces.
At the end, GiLoCatur could only win 3 points. GiLoCatur had the rating performance of 1446 after managed to win against a 1400-rated player. GiLoCatur's daughter also scored 3 points while Fikri, GiLoCatur's son, had 3.5/7 points. The tournament was won by FM Nicholas Chan. He managed to win against Ian Udani, the first runner up.
IM Mas and FM Anas as well as Sargeant Ismail Ahmad, a former World Police champion, also participated in the two-day event.
