Upadate on MAS Players In 13th Asean Age Group After Round 3

Twenty one (21) Malaysian junior chess players including all three GiLoCatur's children are taking part in the on-going 13th Asean+ Age Group being held in Hue, Vietnam. Twelve of them are boys while the other nine are girls.

After three rounds, just Anis Fariha and Nabila left among the Malaysian players who are yet losing. Both of them have 2/3 points so far. In the third round, both of them drew against Vietnamese WCMs. In the fourth round on Day 3 morning, both of them are being paired against non-Vietnamese opponents. Anis will play against Filipino player while Nabila will meet an Indonesian opponent. Can they continue their good performance?

Off To Vietnam

After spending one week in Kuala Terengganu for the MSSM Chess Championship, Fikri and his two siblings flew off to Vietnam on yesterday. He participates in the 13th Asean Age Group from 11th to 19th June 2012 in Hue, Vietnam. Fikri is one of the twenty one Malaysian chess juniors who compete in the age group chess championship. 

It will be the first oversea chess tournament for Fikri and his 10-year-old brother Fahim. Having less than 24 hours to rest after coming home from Terengganu, he immediately packed his bag and ready to fly off to Da Nang, a city located in Vietnam.

Mean while for Anis, it will be her second Asean Age Group Chess Championship. Last year was her first held in Tarakan, Indonesia. Not like her last year, this time all her family members are coming along including mom and dad.
