My Result in Kuala Langat Chess Open

warming up session ...

In the Kuala Langat Chess Open held last Sunday, I just managed to win 3 games againts non-rated players whereas I lost the other four playing againts higher rated players. Unfortunately, I was playing black againts these players. I am a bit happy with my white. I need to imrpove futher when playing black. The game that I am quite happy when playing black is when I was playing againts Puteri Rifqah in Round 5, where I lost on ending. In Round 3, I was very hasty and too aggresive.

In the tournament I was ranked 80th out of 135 chess players in the Open category. Some players are from Kedah, Perlis, Pahang, N Sembilan, Pahang and Terengganu. With the 3 wins, I was placed 88th. Nice number huh! LOL! Below is my round details:

I was playing ...

Black againts Faizal Andin (ranked # 13, rat. 1749) in Round 1

White againts Muhd Asyraf (ranked # 114) in Round 2

Yahaya Ahmad

Many of my chess friends were participating like Yahaya Ahmad from Kedah, Rashid Jamaludin from UPSI, Wak Zunaidi from Tg Karang and others. Just Wak Faizul was not playing. Unfortunately, I did not play againts them especially Yahaya and Rashid. I would love to because I want to revenge my earlier defeats he he he .. Yahaya beats me in previous Royal Selangor International Open while Rashid beats me at Cochrane.  Watch you guys !!!

Ke Banting Hari Ini

Water Fountain di hadapan Tesco Bandar Baru Sungai Emas, Banting.

Pagi ini aku ke Tesco, Banting bersama-sama anak-anakku dan seorang rakan SKBJ mereka, Affan Amrish. Hari ini ada pertandingan catur. Pertandingan diadakan di AIM Tesco Commercial Hall. Perjalanan dari rumahku ke tempat pertandingan adalah sejauh 50 kilometer. 

Sudah agak lama juga sebenarnya aku tidak ke Kuala Langat. Aku sudah lupa bila kali terakhir aku ke Pantai Morib yang terletak di daerah ini. Juga telah bertahun-tahun rasanya aku ke Sijangkang ke rumah rakan sekolah di suatu hariraya. Dan sudah 15 tahun rasanya aku ke stadium Jugra menonton konsert Ella. 

Masa berlalu tanpa disedari. 15 tahun lalu aku baru berumur 25 tahun dan masih single, sekarang aku sudah berkeluarga dengan 3 orang anak. Anak sulung pula baru lepas peperiksaan UPSR.
