MSSM Chess Championship 2011 (Part 6) - A Heartbroken Selangor L15 Team

The Selangor L15 team comprises of Fikri Saleh, Muhammad Irfan Haqqim Azhar, Low Jun Keat and Sunil Kalivanan,  was really heartbroken yesterday afternoon in the final round. It was leading by 2 match points getting into the final sixth round at 3.15pm. The teams needs only a draw to claim the gold medal. But it did not end that way. The Johor team dashed the dream and hope of the Selangor team to be the champion.The former defeated the latter with 3 - 1 score. With that result, both Selangor and Wilayah Persekutuan (WP) have same 10 match points from 5 wins. WP or KL became champion since its second tie break (game points if GiLoCatur is not mistaken) is higher by one point. 

The win over Selangor helped Johor to claim the bronze medal after scoring 9 match points from 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. Such win also had made the WP / KL team happy and victorious.


Gold - WP
Silver - Selangor
Bronze - Johor

GiLoCatur's advice to the Selangor L15 team, FORGET ABOUT THE DEFEAT, MOVE ON, LEARN THE MOST VALUABLE LESSON AND COMEBACK STRONGER NEXT YEAR. BE PROUD OF ACHIEVING THE SILVER MEDAL.

Syabas and tahniah from GiLoCatur to the WP L15 team.
