NAG2013 - Under 8 Players List


Wow! It has been almost a month since GiLoCatur's last entry. Very very sorry folks if your expectation for new entry in the GiLoCatur's Blog is not fulfilled. 

By the way, let's see what's going on with chess activities especially local. GiLoCatur is not sure how many of the Malaysian chess community especially the parents are aware of this year Malaysian National Age Group chess competition or better known as NAG 2013. For the fact, the NAG2013 will be held at Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) in Tronoh, Perak this weekend. Yes, this weekend starting on Friday and will end on Sunday, 3rd February 2013.

It will be the first MCF's events this year. The last edition was held in Kuala Lumpur. All GiLoCatur's children took part. But this year not even Fahim who were among the Top 4 in Under 10 Boys age group will take part for several reasons. It is quite sad for missing this year edition. 

GiLoCatur has received the pre-registered list emailed about ten hours ago. All the players, parents as well as coaches are requested to check the names. Please alert any error or missing name to either Mr Greg, The MCF's secretary or Mr Marcus Yeoh at the following:

1) Mr Gregory Lau HP: 0172898215 or email: msianchess2010@gmail.com 
2) Mr Marcus Yeoh HP: 0124723873 or email: marcus.yeoh81@gmail.com

HAPPY NEW YEAR! From GiLoCatur


Still not late for GiLoCatur to wish all the Malaysian chess community as well as the world chess community, HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

It is common that the first day of a new year is a public holiday. On the first day of the new 2013 year, GiLoCatur and wife were busy sending both Fikri and Anis Fariha back to their boarding schools. Leaving home at 11 o'clock in the morning, we arrived back home in Shah Alam at 6 o'clock in the evening. 

The year of 2013 is an important year for GiLoCatur and wife since Fikri will be sitting for SPM examination while his younger sister, Anis, will be taking PMR exam. It means, their chess activities this year will be much less. 

Both Fikri and Anis most probably will miss almost all the chess tournaments lined up by CAS or Chess Association of Selangor as per its new facebook group here

Enough with that.

In a local Malay newspaper Harian Metro today, GiLoCatur's eyes were struck by a poem about chess. Even the title of the poem is Catur, the Malay word for chess. As writing poem is one of GiLoCatur's hobbies, GiLoCatur has not yet write one about chess. 

Below is the poem which GiLoCatur scanned for all Malaysian chess community to see and read. Bravo to the writer of the poem whom GiLoCatur believes come from Perak.
