KARISMA 2016 will end tomorrow. For those who don't know, KARISMA is a sports carnival among UiTM students. GiLoCatur's eldest son, Fikri, and GiLoCatur's only daughter, Anis Fariha, take part in the KARISMA 2016 hosted by UiTM Machang Kelantan. 

Fikri and Anis

It is the third time for Fikri to take part in KARISMA and it is the first time for his younger sister, Anis. Fikri represents his UiTM Johor while Anis plays for her UiTM Perak.

GiLoCatur is looking forward for the above chess events. Hopefully, all the above events will be published on chess-results.com. It is even better if they are broadcast live. GiLoCatur believes not all the Malaysian chess community especially the parents of the participating chess players can be at the tournament venues to follow closely the events. 

Hopefully, GiLoCatur can provide the updates and highlight these events in this blog. So, come visit this blog regularly.
