GiLoCatur played two 10-minute chess games on chess.com this early morning. (note: four years ago from this blog post)
Target to cross the 1400 rating. Before the games started, GiLoCatur's rating was 1389. So, 11 points to score to reach the 1400 rating.
Alhamdulillah, GiLoCatur won the two games. After winning the first game, GiLoCatur gained 7 points. So, the rating jumped to 1396.
GiLoCatur needs another win. Playing black, GiLoCatur started with h5 move, an usual opening of Ware Defense. Normally for Black, GiLoCatur starts with e6.

Having an about equal (4 against 4) piece, GiLoCatur's opponent resigned when his clock was at 5:42. His black Bishop was stuck and GiLoCatur could exchange Black B and R with N and R.
Winning the second game, GiLoCatur gained another 6 points, and the rating now becomes 1402. GiLoCatur stopped playing so that can enjoy the 1400 rating for a while LOL.

GiLoCatur loves to play chess. Since got married and having children GiLoCatur began active and involve in chess almost 12 years ago.
GiLoCatur still remember, Fikri Saleh took part in his first chess tournament in mid June 2007 while he was in Year 5. Since then GiLoCatur became very active in chess not only bringing the kids to participate in chess tournaments but blog about chess as well.
For the past few years, GiLoCatur has slowed down and very seldom taking part in local chess championships as well as updating GiLoCatur's chess blog.
Now GiLoCatur just plays chess online on chess.com. The kids play just a number of chess tournaments. The two elder children are into chess arbitering now.
Nowadays children are very lucky because there are so many chess tournaments to participate, parents are so supportive, and chess tutorials and coaching is abundant.
This fb post is due to the urge for GiLoCatur to blog about chess. GiLoCatur really miss the chess activities GiLoCatur used to be involved and was part of.
