GiLoCatur was at Ampangan Plaza located near Seremban, Negeri Sembilan today because both Fikri and Fahim Al-Faqeh took part in the Ampangan Age-Group chess tournament. The former played in the Under 18 category together with 64 other participants while the latter was among twenty three (23) Under-12 players.
The Under-18 section played six (6) rounds whereas the Under-12 category played five (5) rounds only. Below are several interesting photos of the tournament.

NEW STYLE OF PLAYING CHESS
GiLoCatur had witnessed a new style of playing chess in this tournament. Both players were standing while playing. Never GiLoCatur seen in any chess tournament before. Maybe this new style of play is due to the chess table and chair.

WHO SAY CHESS IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT. TWO PICTURES BELOW CONFIRM THAT A CHESS MATCH CAN ATTRACT LOTS OF VIEWERS ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS DRAMA.
